In app option to add additional wheel tap configuration to assign existing functions about logi_craft_sdk HOT 3 OPEN

I had a similar problem where I wanted to map multiple hotkeys of my IDE (SAP ABAP editor) to the crown.
My solution was to create a generic plugin that allows you to define tools/tooloptions and assign hotkeys to those tools/tooloptions using a JSON file.
The plugin program runs in the background and launches virtual key stroke(s) when the user turns/releases the crown, depending on the menu context.
By naming the plugin executable the same as the target program the plugin is also activated when the target program gets focus. This way it is possible to create plugins for multiple programs, each with its own set of crown tools/tooloptions mapped to hotkeys.

Thanks for sharing, interesting. The screenshot is that the also example of the plugin or just to demo the custom overlay menu?

Can you share the plugin example please?

That screenshot is from the actual plugin being used in the target program (wfica32.exe).
You can find the plugin code (Visual Studio project) here: https://github.com/HyperMadSan/Craft.git. There is no documentation as this plugin was intended for personal use only.

What you need to do is create a subfolder in folder resources. That subfolder must have the same name as your target program and contains the guid.json file and guid folder but also a tooloptions.json file. It's this tooloptions.json file that has the virtual key mapping.
You can assign a hotkey (combination of keys e.g. ctrl+s), actual keystrokes or both. For instance, in SAP I can open a new window using ctrl+N and then type a transaction name and press enter. This can be mapped to a single tool option.
A tool option can have single option or multiple options. With a single tool option, the virtual key(s) are pressed when the crown is turned. With multiple tool options you cycle through the options by turning the crown and the virtual keys are pressed when you release the crown.
Please see the wfica32 folder for a working example. Do not use the saplogon folder as this contains obsolete data and will not work.

After building the solution you must copy the guid folder to LogiOptionsPlugins and install the profile in Logitech Options (as described in SDK). You can then start your executable and it will run in background (you will see it in task manager). If you named your executable the same as the target program, the plugin will become active when you use the target program.

Let me know if you need additional info/help.
