Just cleaned up the code of an old tool I wrote for my own usage and decided to open-source it.
I bought the Pepper Jobs W10 Gyro Air Smart Remote about two years ago to use with my living room HTPC. It came with a ton of shortcuts and a full-sized keyboard on the back:
I loved the remote and it pretty much eliminated the need for another mouse / keyboard in the living room. The only problem I had with it was the lack of a scrolling feature. I had to move the cursor to the side of a page and manually drag the scrollbar up and down if I wanted to scroll.
That wasn’t ideal so I wrote this little tool that hijacks the “File Explorer” (Win+E) shortcut on the remote. When the button is pressed, the mouse gets locked in place and any attempt of moving the cursor upwards / downwards will be interpreted as scrolling instead:
The key combination is hardcoded and one will need to modify the source code and recompile their own binaries if they want to reassign the feature to a different button. If you know how to do that, you can pretty much use the program with any air mouse remote.
Here is the code. Binary can be found in the release page.
