The primary target audience is gamers, UCR is intended to be able to replicate the functionality that comes with programmable keyboards / mice / joysticks etc. A number of plugins can be grouped together into a Profile. Profiles can also have child profiles, and child profiles can 'inherit' the plugins of a parent profile. This can be used to create 'Shift states' to switch the functionality of inputs. In the future, it is also planned to allow profiles to be linked to a specific application - when that application gets the focus, the profile becomes active. Profiles can be changed through command line parameters when launching UCR through the CLI tool and subsequently to change the profile of the running instance. The syntax for profile switching is UCR.exe CLI.ahk. There are three different methods for changing profiles using the syntax. Passing a valid profile GUID as the will find and activate the profile. Passing a string, quoted or unquoted, as will select the first profile matching (all matches are case insensitive). Passing both and will find and select a profile matching the name with a parent profile matching the name. The will be selected as fallback if no is found.Įxample: UCR.exe CLI.ahk 'MAME' 'megaman' PluginsĪt the core of the design of UCR is the idea of an AHK script as a 'Plugin'.įrom an end-user's perspective, a plugin is a widget which can perform a small task - eg remap one key to another.įrom a plugin author's point of view, a plugin is simply a text file containing AHK script.
