Using GUI - overview
Launching the application
Default application mode is now to run using graphical user interface. This allows for a totally new user experience. You will run directly in graphical mode by typing :
$ chmfp
If any argument is provided, command line interface will be used. One exception is the option -x, which is provided to start the application in graphical mode but prevents automatic startup of MFP as a background task; this option is mainly useful if you have chosen to autostart minimized with no tray icon, and wish to grab control back and/or change options (if tray icon is active, you can invoke chmfp via the tray icon).
$ chmfp -x
Key features
Key features are listed below and detailed in the subsequent pages :
→ The main window is the keymap editor and allows to fully edit mappings
→ Full macro editor is also available, offering all editing capabilities
→ CCM map file conversion can be performed directly
→ MFP can be started or stopped from the main window
→ A test mode is available, to check that all MFP keys are operational
→ All settings and options can be changed by the user and are remembered by the application
→ Application can run in the background with optional tray icon and optional automatic startup
Initialization defaults
A file chmfp.ini is used to store all settings, and is created upon first run. This file is ignored when using CLI terminal mode; conversely, if any command-line options are called when invoking chmfp, application will automatically use CLI terminal mode.
