Using CLI - interactive input
Creating files by user input
Interactive commands (used in conjunction with options) bring up helper functions, to help the user in generating key mappings or macro files. Some limitations exist for key codes and advanced file creation would require editing directly the files (which are well documented).
To create a key mappings file in a terminal window :
$ chmfp -k //creates in the default filename $ chmfp -k -f <other filename> //creates with the "other filename"
To create a macro file in a terminal window :
$ chmfp -p //creates default macro files $ chmfp -p -m <other filename> //creates with the "other filename"
Converting mapping files created with CCM
A conversion utility is also available, in order to convert an existing key mapping file created with CH Control Manager (under Windows) to a chmfp-compatible file. Some limitations exist, which are described in the relevant chapter.
To create a key mappings file from CCM .map file :
$ chmfp -c <CCM map filename>
