Using a second Keyboard for Macro

[djdellarobbia]

Hello all,

So recently I've been finding my self being slowed down in the menus in my adobe products when I'm editing. I know for windows at least, you can run software to use a separate keyboard as a Macro keyboard as Taran has done, however the issue is that after doing some research I still am unable to find how to do it on MacOS.

 

I'd love to have a keyboard entirely dedicated to just macro keys but the computer just sees typing on both as one keyboard.

 

All help is welcomed! Thanks!

 

 

The Keyboards:

Apple Magic Cropped BT Keyboard

Dell KB1421 QuietKey USB Keyboard

 

The specs:

iMac 21.5-inch, Late 2012 model

2.7 GHz Intel Core i5

8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

NVIDIA GeForce GT 640m 512MB

Running macOS High Sierra (Version 10.13.2)

Use windows(dual boot) then if its very important thing for you.
Also you could try https://alternativeto.net/software/autohotkey/?platform=mac or try to get autohotkey working with WINE or write your own tool
