Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Rainmeter v4.5 or newer. Rainmeter can be installed by downloading the .exe file from Rainmeter's official website.
• JaxCore v40005. JaxCore can be installed by downloading the .rmskin file from JaxCore's official website.

Installation

Assuming you successfully downloaded and installed Rainmeter as well as JaxCore, you can now proceed to install Keystrokes by following the steps below.

1. Download and run the .rmskin file for Keystrokes from the official JaxCore site to install Keystrokes.
2. Leave the installation settings at their defaults and click Install.
3. When the installation is finished, a startup pop-up should appear. Follow through the pop-up to finish installing Keystrokes.

Note: If you find that the JaxCore option is red on the startup pop-up, please press the red button and Core will be installed automatically. Perchance this fails, you can manually install Core by downloading the .rmskin file from JaxCore's official website.

Customization

Now that you've installed and configured Keystrokes, let's take a look at some of its customization options!

Layouts:

There are currently two layout presets available in Keystrokes. They are,

• Movements : Displays only the movement keys (W,A,S,D, and Spacebar) along with the mouse buttons and the accelerometer.
• Fullboard : Displays your entire keyboard and the mouse accelerometer.

Note: Mouse Buttons and Mouse Accelerometer can be toggled On or Off when using either preset.

Hotkeys:

Using hotkeys, you can toggle Draggability and Visibility. Simply follow the steps below to setup hotkeys for the aforementioned actions.

1. Open Core and head over to the Modules section.
2. Select Keystrokes from the list and proceed to the General tab.
3. Under Hotkeys,
   • Click the LWin K text to set the hotkey for toggling visibility on or off.
   • Click the LWin O text to set the hotkey for toggling draggability on or off.
4. Set the new hotkey and press Confirm.
5. Refresh Keystrokes by deactivating and activating again using the toggle on the bottom left.

Note: Further customization can be done through the Appearance tab which also includes the RBG Chroma feature.
