Modifier keys

[BruceH2025]

According to the documentation the modifier keys must be held down and then the desired character pressed. Please can you confirm that there is no option to press the modifier keys in sequence and then the desired key?

This is an absolute deal breaker: I want to place this to the side of my keyboard and operate it with one finger.

If it needs two hands then it will always be awkward for one or the other hand, and I don't have the dexterity to do a controlled three-finger press.

Hi,

I can confirm that you have to keep the modifier keys pressed while pressing the symbol key. I have designed the layout of the Mathpad so this can be done easily with one hand.

I understand your concern if you know that your manual dexterity is not up to the task of pressing three keys simultaneously.

I will look into whether I can add support for single-finger operation to the firmware in the way that you described. I'll keep you posted here!

Good news: Single-finger operation can be implemented!

I will work on getting this implemented. It will either be as a persistent configurable setting that you can activate, or as a separate firmware.

Thank-you very much for this. I'll add myself as a backer now.
