Scrolling keys
« on: August 16, 2014, 04:39 AM »
I want to cap an area in a program that can only be scrolled by click and drag or arrow keys.  There are no vertical arrows as a choice in SC and the left/right just makes it jiggle for a sec.  Manual mode works.  Also, it would be more compatible with any setup if the up/down/left/right could be defined as any keys.

If i'm understanding you correctly, what you are asking is that the vertical scrolling method, in addition to "simulate keypresses (PgUp/PgDn)" add an option "simulated keypresses (UpArror/DownArrow)",
something like that?

Exactly.  Is there info on command line options in the manual?  I have not got that far yet.
