Once the keyboard has been created, you will find the following effect controls in the effects panel of the keyboardFX shape layer.
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! 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.
