Configuring TapTap

Top Previous Next

TapTap is a very no-frills program, designed for optimum speed and low-memory usage. Because of that you shouldn't expect it to hold your hand too tightly.

You configure TapTap using a configuration file in the program's directory, called TapTap.ini. This is a standard text file you can edit in notepad.

The format of the TapTap.ini configuration file is very simple:

Comments are preceeded by //

All other lines take the form: keymap [D][L][R][C][A][S][W][+]keyname1] : [C][A][S][W][+]keyname2

Specifically:

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------

// SYNTAX IS:

// keymap [D][L][R][C][A][S][W][+]keyname1] : [C][A][S][W][+keyname2]

// letter constants above are:

// D = doubletap

// L = left

// R = right

// C = control

// A = alt

// S = shift

// W = windows

// keyname1 is from:

// (letters&numbers can only be used with W), others only with D)

// keyname2 is from:

// A-Z|0-9|F1-F12|pause|capslock

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------

For example:

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------

// double left control maps to F7

keymap DLC : F7

// double right shift maps to Control F1

keymap DRS : C+F1

// right winkey+J maps to Control S

keymap RW+J : C+S

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------

And additional optional options:

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------

// OPTIONAL options (put // in front of them to disable)

// beep on every hotkey pressed that *could* be remapped (for debugging)

option beep

// set delay allowed between doubletaps in milliseconds (default is 350)

option tapdelay 350
