keyboardFX v1.2 introduces a new mode for better timing your animations by using markers!
For each generated text character, keyboardFX creates a layer marker,
which controls the typing animation and key illumination.

keyboardFX v1.2 also introduces the '{{HOLD}} special code which gives
the ability to light-up key combinations or whole sections of the keyboard.

keyboardfx_preset_1 keyboardfx_preset_2 keyboardfx_preset_3 keyboardfx_preset_4



You can illuminate all available keys on every keyboard, including
the Function, Modifier, Navigation and Numeric Pad Keys

keyboardFX - UI
In order for keyboardFX to illuminate other than alphanumeric keys (e.g. the function keys, arrow keys etc.) a special code must be typed. This special code is nothing more than double curly brackets before and after the name of the key.

For example:

You want keyboardFX to generate typing animations for the following two words:
Hello World! and immediately after that, you want to illuminate the "Page Down" key. What you should write in the text field of keyboardFX is:

Hello World!'{{PAGE DOWN}}

and then press the "Generate keyboard!" button.


Here is an example list of codes for the special keys of a PC keyboard.
(similar lists for all types of keyboards -Apple, Mobile/Tablet, Commodore- are provided in the included PDF user guide)

You can easily adjust the typing speed as well as the glow decay.
Below is an example of various values of the "glow decay" effect control.
