Interception & UCR: Button to Keyboard Example

[Snacko]

It took a while for me to figure out how to use Interception & UCR to send keystrokes from my keyboard, I thought I would share it here.
First, Install Interception & UCR according to their instructions.

From what I've read, you may need to install UCR 'after' Interception. I did that and it's working. But I could not find any info on how to tell the keyboard to send a Character. Until I found one tutorial..

I did find a video that helped me a little. This video shows a Keyboard key pressing a Button on a controller.. you can see it here!

My Button to Keystroke Example:

In UCR you need to use the 'Button to Button' Plugin/Action, and assign your controller button first. Then select your Keyboard device(Mine was called 'K: Logitech USB Receiver'.. K: is for Keyboard, and M: is for Mouse). And click the 3 dot button to the right of the 'Click to bind' button.

You will see a list of Keys that you can pick from. Or, click to bind a key.

My Modifier:

And in my case, I wanted to use my Left Rudder Pedal as a button, sent to vJoy. And require that to be pressed as a modifier(like CTRL, ALT..) for my Hat buttons to work. So, I made the Left Pedal button (vJoy Stick 1) as a 'Filter', and added a 'Button to Button' action to send my Hat buttons to the keyboard, filtered by my Left Pedal Button.

This is all working fine.

The Hat Buttons on my Throttle, using the Filter..

You have to type in the same Filter name that you created.
