PTT key combinations possible?

splash99 · 06-13-2013, 06:40 AM

On the Windows version of Vent it's possible to use multiple key combinations as a PTT button. On the Mac version it will accept only one key (there's no equivalent of "Use Direct Input to detect Hotkey" checkbox). Is there a way to be able to set a key combination in the Mac Client?

(NB: It's not that I want to complicate things with multiple key combos, just that my wife has a new gaming keyboard with macro keys and wants to use a conveniently positioned macro key as her PTT button and the only way to get Vent to recognise it as a PTT button is to map a macro to a standard key on the Qwerty panel).

Any ideas much appreciated.

sorry for taking so long but i had to borrow a logitech g110 keyboard.

mapping a key is the only option. but using the 'bindings' option you can also set a secondary ptt key.

in bindings > new > create new name > add > select key using 'ptt advanced' > select 'current channel' > clik OK
