Control Slew with Arrow Keys

It would be nice if it was possible to configure the arrow keys for slew control.

Hi,

actually the shortcuts to control the mount using the keyboard are the direction keys on the numeric keypad (with CTRL held down) - thats' because the arrow keys are used (in theory) to move about the user interface if you are not working using a mouse. There are also a set of alternate keys to use if your keyboard doesn't have a numeric keypad.

That doesn't work for me. It might be because I am remoting into a Windows computer from a Mac. That's a bummer. Thanks for the heads up. I'll see what I can do to remedy my problem!

Hi Joey,

that's weird - I can understand that the number pad keys might get mangled by the mac/remote desktop situation, but the CTRL+I/J/K/L ones should surely go through. Can you get other keyboard shortcuts to work (like the F1/F2 keys for adjust exposure). In some older versions of SharpCap there were issues where those wouldn't work properly depending on what part of the application you had clicked on most recently, but I think that is all fixed now.

cheers,

Robin

Oh sorry I missed the I/J/K/L shortcuts. Those do work! Thanks so much for your help.
