Lenovo Trackpad Configuration

[TLM]

Got a new Lenovo that comes with this terrible trackpad config software.
Ended up writing this to customize it on startup.
NOTE: You must be running AHk with admin privileges.

Ironically enough I'm now working for Lenovo so if you have any questions / queries pm me

I just got a lenova ideapad 110.

had to write this little script due to the messed up keyboard layout.

they moved the arrow keys into where the shift key should be and made the shift key tiny, I kept hitting arrow key instead of shift.

thank god for autohotkey.

Code: Select all

$Up::Shift
^Up::
Send {Up}
return

although more and more i'm starting to think that Right Shift is poorly placed in general. thinking of using Alt as Shift

@guest3456 Both Shifts are in a bad place. Kills ergonomics: esp. wrist, hand and pinky finger posture. Especially on notebooks you bend arm inwards, but for shift you have to move/bend outwards, which creates lots of movement and/or pain in the long wrong.
My trick: put Shift on Space or Alt. ShiftSpace is most comfortable, but Ctrl on Space also feels like heaven

@TLM Any idea how I could use the @Lenovo trackpad middlebutton in ahk as a hotkey? Since having my thumb on it all the time, it's a waste using it only in combination with trackpoint. It's the best modifier button there is!
