Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is MagicTypist?

    MagicTypist is an app that allows you to customize your keyboard layout and create custom shortcuts. It lets you remap keys, and create multiple layers for different tasks. This app is works for Windows and Mac.

  • How does MagicTypist work?

    MagicTypist works by generating a custom script file for your preferred operating system. For Windows, it generates a script for AutoHotkey v1.1, which can be downloaded and executed on your PC. For Mac, it generates complex modifications for Karabiner Elements, which can be imported and enabled on your Mac. MagicTypist provides instructions on how to download and apply the configuration file for each operating system.

  • How do I use MagicTypist?

    To use MagicTypist, design your desired keyboard layout using the drag and drop interface or import a pre-designed configuration. Once you are satisfied with the setup, download the generated configuration file and follow the instructions for your operating system.

  • How do I use MagicTypist on Mac?

    To use MagicTypist on Mac, you will need to follow these steps:

    • Install Karabiner Elements on your Mac.
    • Download the custom modification file generated by MagicTypist.
    • Follow the instructions provided by Karabiner Elements to import and enable the configuration.
    • Disable and remove any previous keyboard configurations.
    • Start typing with your new custom keyboard layout!

  • How do I use MagicTypist on Windows?

    To use MagicTypist on Windows, you will need to follow these steps:

    • Install AutoHotkey v1.1 on your PC.
    • Download the script file generated by MagicTypist.
    • Execute the script file.
    • Start typing with your new custom keyboard layout!

  • Why does Magictypist use Autohotkey v1.1 instead of v2?

    Magictypist is a side project, and while it's actively maintained, there's only so much time that can be devoted to it. Updating to Autohotkey v2 would require significant changes to the codebase, and it's not clear that the benefits would justify the effort. Additionally, Autohotkey v1.1 is still widely used and supported, so it remains a viable option for Magictypist.

  • Can I use magictypist with a non us qwerty layout?

    Yes, you can use Magictypist with any keyboard layout. However, it's important to note that the key meanings may change at the UI level. For example, if your operating system has an 'AZERTY' layout configured, the letter 'Q' will function as 'A', the 'W' will be 'Z', and so on. This means that even though Magictypist will work with your specific keyboard layout, you will need to be mindful of the changed key interpretations when interacting with the Magictypist editor.

    Another option is to configure the operating system's keyboard layout to 'US QWERTY' and then reconfigure the keys in the Magictypist editor to act as if it were an 'AZERTY' layout.

  • Can I use Magictypist for gaming?

    While Magictypist can technically be used for gaming, it is not designed with that specific purpose in mind. The generated script is executed by software (Autohotkey v1.1 or Karabiner Elements), which may not be as fast as needed for competitive gaming. Additionally, automation tools like Magictypist are forbidden in most competitive video games. However, Magictypist can still be a useful tool for improving productivity and efficiency in a variety of other contexts.
