# Emit X

[![Build status](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/215tndv748iwpxh4?svg=true)](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/retorillo/emit-x)

Emit X allows to assign keyboard shortcut to Surface Pen Button (click, double

click, press and hold). Good for digital-painting.

Duplicate `x64\emit-x.exe` (for 64bit) or `x86/emit-x.exe` (for 32bit), and

change its name as below, finally register as "Launch as classic app" on "Pen

and Windows Ink" setting.

- To assign `B` key, change to `emit-b.exe`

- To assign `F11` key, change to `emit-f11.exe`

- To assign `Alt + Ctrl + Z` key combination, change to `emit-alt-ctrl-z.exe`

- To assign `Windows + PrintScreen` key combination, change to `emit-win-prtscr.exe`

Name is case-insensitive. Currently, supports the following keys and its combinations:

- Modifiers keys `Ctrl` (or `Ctl`), `Alt`, `Shift`

- Windows Key `Win` (or `Windows`)

- Function keys `F1`-`F20`

- Home and End Keys `Home`, `End`

- Page Up and Down Keys `PageUp`, `PageDown`

- Directional Keys `Left`, `Right`, `Up`, `Down`

- Numerical keys `0` - `9`

- Alphabetical keys `A` - `Z`.

- Print Screen Key `PrintScreen` (or `PrtScr`, `PrtScreen`, `PrintScr`)

- Delete and Backspace key `Delete` (or `Del`), `Backspace` (or `BS`, `Back`)

- Escape key `Escape` or `ESC`

- Spacebar `Space`

- Enter key `ENTER` (or `ENT`)

- Tab key `Tab`

This is "workaround" app. I'm expecting Microsoft implement genuine feature.

Tested on Surface Pro 4 + Windows 10 + Photoshop CC. Works on Windows 8.1 and later.
