About Custom Keypad
For connection instructions, and more information, please visit our website : http://keypad.iosproapps.com
This app allows you to create custom keypads or keyboards that you can use to control your computer over the network from your iOS device. You start by creating a keypad layout, which includes buttons and other controls that you can easily arrange and customize. Then for each control, you define which actions to send to your computer when the control is touched. Actions can be keystrokes, such as keyboard shortcut commands, or mouse clicks such as the left, right or middle mouse buttons. Once you are connected to your computer, simply touch the controls on your keypad to control your computer from your iOS device!
A SIMPLE EXAMPLE
For example, the keyboard shortcuts for copy, cut, and paste, are common to most programs. So using this app, you can create a simple keypad layout with three buttons, assigning each button to one of these keyboard shortcuts. Then with your new keypad, you can send copy, cut, or paste commands to your computer, just as if you were typing directly on your computer!
FOR WORK OR PLAY
People typically use this app to increase productivity by creating layouts that control software on their computer. Many people use this with software such as Photoshop, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, CAD, Sibelius, web browsers, games, and more. Basically any software that has keyboard shortcuts can be controlled with this app!

GREAT NEW FEATURE:
Controls are now able to send both simultaneous and sequential tasks within a single action. So you can mix-and-match and send any combination of simultaneous and sequential tasks that you need.
A great use for this is the ability to send multiple keyboard shortcuts in a single action. For example, to send the Cmd-a shortcut, followed by the Cmd-c shortcut, you would define the action with two groups of simultaneous tasks:
Send Tasks: Simultaneously
Keystroke: Cmd
Keystroke: a
Send Tasks: Simultaneously
Keystroke: Cmd
Keystroke: c
To find these new features, edit your control, then edit an action, press the + button, and select Add Group. Click the info icon on the bottom toolbar for detailed instructions.
