Hello!
I have a new EN-16, and I'm interested in using it as a controller for various system functions. My first thought was to make one of the knobs control the system volume, but it looks like volume-up and volume-down are not options in the Keyboard dropdown in Grid Editor. (I also tried just pressing those buttons in the input field, and that didn't work either.)
Is there a way to do this that I'm overlooking?
kkerti · Hi! Looking around the web, most solve this with a third party app to translate keyboard shortcuts to system commands: https://superuser.com/questions/319396/how-do-i-control-the-volume-with-a-non-mac-keyboard
kkerti · Grid can act as a "generic keyboard", so mac os specific controls are not in the default keyboard action block.
Martin Grider · Hmmm. I managed to find a way to treat F11 as volume down and F12 as volume up, but assigning those to the knob doesn't seem to be changing the volume, even though pressing those keys from my keyboard does. 🤷♂️
Martin Grider · I do appreciate the link though. There were some good ideas in there.
Martin Grider · FWIW, I did get this working by modifying the grid's output using a keyboard application I already had installed called Karabiner-Elements. (https://karabiner-elements.pqrs.org/) I needed to set the Encoder to output f11 on left rotate, and f12 on right rotate, then in Karabiner-Elements:
kkerti · Thanks for sharing your solution!
