Every few years, the planets align and The Taran is allowed to exit his den. Upon seeing first light, The Taran is confused - Why so few macros The Taran asks? Why does this creature have only one keyboard? The Taran cannot allow this and plans his attack. The unsuspecting computer user is unaware of the fact that it is possible, or necessary, to use 12 keyboards with his computer. As the computer user types away on his single un-ergonomic keyboard that obviously causes far too much overexertion of their index finger, The Taran strikes. The Taran reveals his secret move: ULTIMATE MACRO and the user is completely overwhelemed by the fact that now he must memorize no fewer than 1400 new key instructions on their new setup, but The Taran has claimed victory, for while the user may need to exert far too much brain power and memory, the user may now save his hands from multiple key presses for the rest of their life.

Do a quick search for "KSP custom control panel" on Google or KZbin and you will see some excellent examples. People have been making things like this for years for all sorts of games and it's actually pretty simple. If you want to get into something like this, pick up an Arduino Uno to start learning. If you want keyboard (AND MOUSE/JOYSTICK!) emulation, you need something like a Teensy or different model of Arduino, but you literally just wire up any button you like and program it to act like a certain key.

[@siegmundeurades5753]

The entire trip down the macro rabbit hole

[@Muhanoid]

Basically, he explains all the options for productivity freaks and games that play simulator games in full simulation mode that need more than 1 keyboard to do things. QMK lets you take cheapest keyboard that you can buy (or have laying around) and turn it into productivity panel. For example, you can print icons that tell you what kind of macro is on a key and glue them to every key on keyboard that is connected to computer with QMK. Why would you do that? BECAUSE pressing ctrl+alt+shift+F3, down arrow, down arrow, left arrow (or some other combination) would become painful rather quickly, especially if you have tons of such combinations for video editing software, photoshop and similar. For example, let's say you need to press up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A Imagine that you need to do it all the time to get something done quickly and it repeats 30~40 times a day. And there are other combinations that are also used 30~40 times a day. Macro can do it in about 1~2 seconds (depending on how fast your PC works and can, without lagging, accept the inputs to get things done right). By hand (manually) it would take a lot more seconds (depends on combination and sequence) to get same result AND you need to remember ALL THE COMBINATIONS in your head. Now imagine that you need to get something done, but instead you try to remember "what is a combination to quickly select tagged items?". Time gets wasted on 'sitting at the desk and staring at the screen'. So instead of memorizing combinations you can get a QMKs and a bunch of cheapest keyboards and then print out what each key does. Will it take some time to do? Yes, it will. Will the time it has taken to set up the workspace help in months and months of mundane work? Yes, it will. For games like Arma 3 or War Thunder an additional keyboard is useful. Here, look: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJDWgIikbcR9d68 Try using Full Real controls in War Thunder without running out of keys to press on single keyboard. That's what this video is about.

As a Linux user, it warms my heart to hear that installing an Ubuntu VM is faster than setting up git on Windows

[@marcmil4064]

To be fair though, obtaining the code is not enough. Besides, github allows to download the code from the browser as an archive, so that would be easier. However, compiling this thing on pure windows would probably be difficult, since it is probably developed with an linux environment in mind. And it isn't really a VM, it's Windows Subsystem for Linux. It's more like what wine is rather than a fully fledged vm.

[@chupilococo]

Taran, don't listen to the haters. Engineers do this all the time to reduce redundent work. In fact, a good part of an efficient engineers time is spent working on macros to do non value added work like retyping the same commands over and over 3000 times. The rest of their work is spent ACTUALLY figuring out how to solve problem, not the act of solving the problem itself. Just how we now use calculators to add, subtract, divide, multiply, on and on.

[@sagichdirdochnicht4653]

The majority of GOOD engineers are lazy as fuck. That's why a good engineer tends to setup such things, altough it requires some effort. However, after a single tedious setup, it works and in all the time they would need to do brainless clicking, they are now able to some work that actually requires brain or to simply sipp some coffee. Or at least any engineer I've met in my life, that was GOOD, was a brutally lazy folk, avoiding work as much they could. That's also how you can tell apart the best students. The best folks in university aren't the ones that are learing non stop without a break, but those who get similar or at least close results, without putting to much effort in.

Before watching the video: "Now, this sounds super-useful" After watching the video: "Lol, screw it, I'm fine with the 6 built-in macro keys of my keyboard"

[@SlackFX.channel]

Honestly he could have ended the video at "Razer synapse recognizes more than 2 keyboards so long as you don't buy the same one twice" and left it at that. I love his AHK content, but like.... you can legit just buy multiple razer boards and your good to go - in fact, by keeping it strictly razer, it makes it easy to import the profiles to keyboards throughout say, a home office, while having 99% of the functions that the Cosair software has (idk if you can set RGB lights based on profile - but probably?). If you scoop old razer keyboards off marketplace, it is very easy to keep the costs down.

So uhh did taran edit his own video editing another video to make a video about editing using macros? 🤔

Yes. He was also writer, host, and edit manager

[@Abayake]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5i8eZilfpd8ntk he makes sound when you touch him

[@Finkelfunk]

It still astonishes me that some people don't understand why he'd need so many macros. Like guys, have you ever _seen_ how a professional grade movie production work station for the editors of feature length films looks like? That's FAR beyond what Taran has set up here. So yes, if you are a full time editor you NEED these macros. I am surprised he doesn't have 2 more keyboards tbh.

[@TheKidnappedOne]

All one needs to do is look at the hardware that Blackmagic Design sells for use with their Davinci Resolve software to know that the amount of macros and shortcuts one would need are insane, even with this setup He is probably only a quarter of the way to the same sort of layout that the big studios utilize. Funny enough is BmD literally gives away their software, with next to no limitations on utilization, and even buying the software is cheap, which leads me to believe their bread and butter must be the hardware for production studios.

[@chatboss000]

I think you answered your own question. I've never seen a pro-grade workstation that you speak of - heck, even popular KZbinrs that give little editing behind the scenes have people working with a single mouse and keyboard...

[@Finkelfunk]

@@chatboss000 He is a full time editor that cuts videos for a living 8-12 hours a day. He is most definitely not "doing a little editing". He has to edit videos for 5 different channels or so. That's hardly the same as a beauty channel giving their "once a week" video to someone else for editing.

[@chatboss000]

@@Finkelfunk It seems there has been a misunderstanding, poor phrasing and missing words on my part. I'll clarify - I'm not saying this guy is doing a "little" editing, I meant I've seen youtubers give editing "behind the scenes" VIDEOS* with "little" being a descriptor of their detail and information conveyed. Are you still astonished as to why people don't understand why he'd need so many macros, by any chance?

[@Finkelfunk]

@@chatboss000 Ahhhh, that makes a bit more sense. Still can't understand why people think that though. They should know that slapping 3 clips together on a shitty Blog is not the same as Taran being a full time editor.
