Moving on-curve independent of off-curves, using arrows, maintaining ‘smooth’

[ryan]

Is there a way to do this? Currently command is allocated for this well with the mouse. But of course with arrows, command can affect the increment. option breaks the smoothness. Video

Not sure what a good solution to this would be.

TIA,
Ryan

this is now hard embedded: caps lock is a nice key as this key can be on without pressing it. Your hyper-key tool has picked caps lock for the same reason :)

Is there any way to assign a different key to replace the caps lock function in RoboFont?

I already use caps-lock as a "hyper" key in order to have more modifiers 😄

Oh wow you already had it solved! Thanks Frederik, this is why I love the forum.

Just tried it and it works great. Only downfall I can think of is moving to Space Center or other apps, having forgotten to turn off caps-lock. Wish there were more modifiers, like you said! What if control was allocated to increments instead of comm—oh wait I have this on my Mac, ha

@frederik this is great :)

@rbugden thanks for asking!

[frederik]

there aren’t enough modifiers :)

but RF can handle this: use the caps lock key to tell RF to use the arrows as if they where mouse events. see video
