Shift function (modifier?) to pinkie button?
-
Hi there, pls pardon my ignorance - is there a way to get the Shift key to the Pinkie button of the Stick?
I’d like to press that button and have a 2nd set of alternate functions to the other buttons.
Thanks in advance. -
Hostas pinky shift does that,when held it allows all your shifted functions.
Unless thats not what your asking -
If you want to set the literal keyboard key shift onto your joystick then you need joystick programming software, 1st or 3rd party, to do that.
But you don’t want to do that. Instead you want to use special key command which turns pinky button into dual-action button which does pinky button on tap and a kind of shift on hold. Then other buttons can be programmed to activate when pinky button is held.
To do this there is a special callback

If you have a Warthog stick the best button for a shit key on that stick is actually the CMS->dwn button, because it’s not used for anything in the Viper and by using that one you don’t interfere with any of your other HOTAS functions…I LOVE my Warthog stick!
