Soft key for mouse 'double click'

[sneakymax]

Just started using an Artist Control and EuControl inside Cubase 8. Set up all great, everything working. What I'm trying to do is set up a soft key that will double-click track name, copy it and past the same info in a track below. What I discovered in in the Accessibility area in System Preferences is that you can set up the keyboard to act as a mouse. So in the 'mouse & trackpad' section you can 'Enable Mouse Keys', so by pressing the number 5 twice, the cursor will double click. You activate this feature by pressing the Option key 5 times in a row, and this works. Problem is , I tried setting up a soft key with the option key enabled 5 times in a row, and it doesn't work. Is the sequence too fast to enable the feature? Any suggestions?

I'm not sure if I get 100 percent what you want to do. But if you want to program a sequence (a batch command) in EuControl you have to take care not to mix EuCon-commands with key commands. I experienced this when I programmed a sequence for a new playlist. I took the EuCon command for "new playlist" followed by the return key to get a playlist with the next number via soft key. It didn't work. I changed my sequence and used the key command for "new playlist" followed by return and it worked.

Hi Mark, thanks for letting me know this. Yes, originally I did combine key commands with Eucon commands, but since it didn't work I scaled back to just 5 key commands, all the same. Hard to explain what Im trying to do but I don't think it is possible. Like most, I'm going to have a lot of trial and error, forum digging, post reading, yada-yada. :roll eyes: I'm sure once you get the hang of it, Eucon can be quite valuable.
