Logitech SetPoint custom keys?

[Twill]

Hey folks,

Just curious if there is a way to set the function keys on logitech wireless keyboards to a particular function. I want to set one to "send email" and not just open email etc. I know there must be a way to do this but wouldnt know where to start looking. If anyone has any thoughts (what I need to change, hacks, commands, edits, programs etc) it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

hmmm. I think your gonna have to explain a little better first. What mail program, or site do you use? Are you asking if it cand send mail you've already written and just not sent? And do you mean while the program or page is already open?

Fill us in on the full scoop.

pretty sure he means make a keyboard button more or less "Compose". He hits the key and a blank e-mail pops up so he can begin typing away.

kinda, rhino.

I want to be able to press a button to open a blank email "compose" then be able to press another button to "send" without using my mouse.

Essentially I want to find a way to code my button to a specific code/command, and I need to find out what that command is.

Does that make it clearer at all?

thanks

ok well for the the button to just go ahead and send the e-mail just bind your shortcut to that key. For example my mail program is "Control-E" to send the message.

As for automatically opening a program and getting the blank mail up I'm not sure i'll have to think about it. Offhand the only thing I can think of right now is if the key can do to functions with a small delay in between.

Set the hotkey for "Compose"

Action would be like:

Open -mailprogram-
wait xyz (until program is open)
Shortcut key (Control-N, for new mail)


of course that isn't code or anything just an example of one way it could work if it the buttons can be programmed like that.
