Re: [Finale] [OT] wireless keyboard / numpad w. finale
I have this gear and I remember this issue but it has been a while since I've used it. I think you can use QuicKeys to send a cmd-Pg Up/Dn when pressing just the Pg Up/Dn keys on the BT Numpad.

Re: [Finale] [OT] wireless keyboard / numpad w. finale
Hi Jef, The BT numpad has a command key? It doesn't look like it, at least not from the photo you sent. Or am I confused about what you're trying to do? The command that you're trying to emulate (with fn-command-arrowdown) is actually command-PageDown. But it doesn't look like you can combine keystrokes across the BT keyboard and BT numpad, making command-PageDown impossible.

Re: [Finale] [OT] wireless keyboard / numpad w. finale
Just curious Craig, regarding the LMP numpad you bought. I had one about a year ago and it never, ever really stayed connected via Bluetooth. Moreover, it was a major PITA to pair it. I would be most curious if you'd apprise us at some point on your experience with it. I got so frustrated at one point I beat the sh*t out of it with a hammer. I felt better then.

Re: [Finale] [OT] wireless keyboard / numpad w. finale
Hi Jef, >From the review you linked to: " Also, because OS X views this duo as two separate keyboards, commands that require simultaneous presses on the keyboard and keypad (like Command-+) can’t be entered. " That would also seem to apply to command-down arrow, etc. Cheers, - DJA - WEB: http://www.secretsocietymusic.org On 9 Aug 2012, at 12:11 PM, SN jef chippewa wrote: > > i recently bought an apple bluetooth keyboard (french canadian), > apple trackpad and LMP bluetooth numpad. i am trying to figure out a > few key commands i had with my extended macally keyboard but can't > get to work on the new equipment. > > is anyone else using these and knows the key combos? > > function-cmd-arrowdown/up for page turn works on the laptop but not > on the keyboard, for some reason. the page up/down buttons apply to > the visible (on-screen) portion of the current page. > > also i hadn't remembered about the home/end buttons i use ALL THE > TIME that i no longer have. before i consider taking them back and > finding another solution, are there tricks i just don't know about? > > http://www.maclife.com/article/reviews/bluetooth_keypad_wkp1314_review > > i do like having a separate trackpad / keyboard and numpad, makes for > a modular workspace :-) but i need these keys! > > ___ > Finale mailing list > Finale@shsu.edu > http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
[Finale] [OT] wireless keyboard / numpad w. finale
i recently bought an apple bluetooth keyboard (french canadian), apple trackpad and LMP bluetooth numpad. i am trying to figure out a few key commands i had with my extended macally keyboard but can't get to work on the new equipment. is anyone else using these and knows the key combos? function-cmd-arrowdown/up for page turn works on the laptop but not on the keyboard, for some reason. the page up/down buttons apply to the visible (on-screen) portion of the current page. also i hadn't remembered about the home/end buttons i use ALL THE TIME that i no longer have. before i consider taking them back and finding another solution, are there tricks i just don't know about? http://www.maclife.com/article/reviews/bluetooth_keypad_wkp1314_review i do like having a separate trackpad / keyboard and numpad, makes for a modular workspace :-) but i need these keys! ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
