Modify Keyboard Buttons

[KussOmmakom]

I have 2 Buttons on my keyboard:

one for bluetooth and one for something else.
I want to modify them so when I press one of them, It opens a specific program I want.

how can this be done?

There's about 10,000 different keyboards in the world, and nearly as many computers

I think you are best to tell us a bit more about your hardware (actually a lot more)
You can start by doing the below
Please put your System Specs information in your Profile

If you have a proprietory computer like Dell; HP; Acer etc, please manually write this in the mobo field (ie Dell Dimension 3100 - as an example)

Please click on Yes in your Profile To this question:

Would you like to show other members your computer specs? Default is (NO) This will be displayed in your posts via a drop down menu for other members to view. Add your system specs in your usercp Edit options.

Also you will need to supply your Keyboard info:
Wireless
Non Wireless
Manufacture
Model
Exactly which buttons
So forth so forth....


Generally it's just a matter of downloading your Keyboard program
If it's a manufacture computer (like Dell etc) then you might find that program here: https://www.techspot.com/vb/topic117607.html

Good luck :grinthumb

Maybe go back and read my reply more slowly :suspiciou

Edit:
As you edited the above and included: Acer Aspire 4710
Here's a link to all the Drivers and programs for that laptop: http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/notebook/as_4710.html

 

[KussOmmakom]

You asked for the system's specs, and I posted it.

what else do you need?

 

[kimsland]

Nothing at all
You are are asking the questions, and I answer them
Ideally you should have just updated your profile (as I stated)
Anyway, at least I worked out that you have a laptop, that was a bonus
Oh and I edited above with your driver and programs download page.

Have a nice day. Glad it's resolved.

 

[KussOmmakom]

I gave you all the information you wanted about my laptop and you still wanted me to do that profile thing? lol

also why your giving me a link to the Acer's drivers and programs page?

 

[kimsland]

Acer Aspire 4710

Because that's what you have, and that's where the keyboard program comes from
I'd download them all (you could be missing other stuff too) Except Bios update, this isn't even supported by the manufacture.

By the way, when I ask something. ie update your Profile. It's for your benefit not mine. I don't have the problem.
If you decide not to follow what I say, then I usually cannot help further.

That's why.

 

[KussOmmakom]

I don't know why you really want it on the profile, you got all the info.

it's like:

hey I have a problem with my ride
then you ask is it a four wheeler or two?
then I post a pic of it ( 4 wheeler )
then you say you didn't answer my question, read again carefully.

LOL



Anyone else who understands can help me please?

 

[kimsland]

Look go read what you pasted in
Floppy drive info
Cd drive info
etc etc

You know I didn't need that that info, actually the only thing that helps in that paste is your OS info and laptop make. ie about 2 lines worth.

But when you pasted in all that other stuff, I thought WTF I don't need that.

Now you couldn't be too concerned seeming you still haven't done what I said
But to save some support guy coming on and posting and you give thanks to him, and likely no thanks to me.

It's probably in your manual
Go read it

Dude there's no program for the keyboard there, just drivers.

LOL don't have any buttons above the keyboard.
this is obviously infos for an other model of the laptop.

Doh! wrong link, because I was going too quickly, and your specs are way up there, so I have to keep scrolling up and down this thread (it's very annoying)

Here's the link:

----------------------------

actually I remember this, I got it when I bought the laptop first time, it doesnt help.

it just can let me change the buttons that I use, not the ones i dont (Bluetooth and the Other)

so I disabled it before and there's no use from it for me.


isnt there a program like this that can work on any kind of button?
like a shortcut button manager?
