Very slick! Shoulda thought of that myself. I came up with this for a 3x2 desktop: Key h A 4 Scroll +0 -200000 Key l A 4 Scroll +0 +200000 Key k A 4 Scroll +300000 +0 Key j A 4 Scroll +300000 +0 Funny thing is the h key doesn't work quite like expected. It works fine from the bottom row, but from the top row it behaves like the setting is "+0 -100000" - like the ctrl UP key in the following: Key Left A C Scroll -100000 +0 Key Right A C Scroll +100000 +0 Key Up A C Scroll +0 -100000 Key Down A C Scroll +0 +100000 Any idea why? I tried several other values for the second parameter, including +400000 and +600000, which never want to behave right. Instead of behaving like you'd expect "+0 -200000" to behave, they behave exactly like you'd expect "+0 +200000".
