Tutorial 3f - autoShift
|
|
=======================
|
|
Some multi-layer keyboards have a symbols layer that writes symbols without using the shift key:
|
|
|
|
~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * () _ {} | < > : ?
|
|
|
|
The keybrd AutoShift class automatically sends a MODIFIERKEY_SHIFT scancode as needed.
|
|
Two keybrd classes use AutoShift:
|
|
* Code_ScS
|
|
* Code_ScNS
|
|
|
|
The [keybrd_3f_autoShift.ino](keybrd_3f_autoShift/keybrd_3f_autoShift.ino) sketch explains the AutoShift feature.
|
|
It will run on the basic breadboard keyboard described in [tutorial_1_breadboard_keyboard.md](tutorial_1_breadboard_keyboard.md).
|
|
After reading the sketch you too will be able to automatically shift characters.

Exercises
|
|
---------
|
|
1) Modify the keybrd_3f_autoShift sketch to make a 3-layer keyboard with a default layer and two Code_LayerHold objects.
|
|
|
|
| Layout | **0** | **1** |
|
|
|:------:|:-----:|:-----:|
|
|
| **0** | a ! 1 | b @ 2 |
|
|
| **1** | sym | num |
|
|
|
|
2) Modify the keybrd_3f_autoShift sketch to write 1 and 2, regardless of if shift is held down or not (hint: use Code_ScNS).
