Is it possible to remember computers and automatically choose a layout?

[john.m.harrold]

Hello,

I use my keyboard to switch between MacOS and Windows to maintain consistent behavior. I was wondering if it is possible to create a macro that can remember computers or detect the computer OS and have the correct layout selected based on this information?

Thanks
John

Nope.

The closest thing is that you can create a hook on your computers that detects that UHK was connected and executes a script that communicates over USB to the UHK and tells it to switch keymap or execute a macro command.

References:

• if you build an Agent, or decompress Agent’s AppImage, then there is a switch keymap script in packages/usb/switch-keymap.ts
• similarly, there is exec-macro-command.ts
• furthermore, in linux you can easily send such commands straight from commandline. See https://github.com/UltimateHackingKeyboard/firmware/blob/master/doc-dev/user-guide.md, search for “Executing commands over USB”.
