Hero Lab on MS Surface Pro 3

[templeton]

I have an i7 surface pro 3, HL runs as well as it does on my x99 based workstation at home.

For all you Surface Pro users out there, I found this awesome AutoIt script! It pops the soft keyboard when ever it detects a text field!

Finally I no longer have to press the icon to open/close the keyboard, works great. I'm such a happy camper now...

FYI it also works with other programs. There is also an exe file, just pin it to you taskbar. Its small and no install so portable...

Great find I will check it out, but I never travel with out the keyboard so not sure when I would use it.

How do you deal with the scrolling popups? For instance, you hit the ? on a feat or power and the box pops up. I can't scroll down. The box disappears when i click on the scroll bar or use the arrow keys. Suggestions?

Ya, this is such a pain in the arse. HL has still not embraced touch screen technology. As far as I can tell you can only scroll those with a mouse wheel and mouse wheel only...

There needs to be a "pin" option on those question marks...

You would think that Rob and company have it on the list since the iPad version is out. I may have to spring for that Surface mouse afterall...

Ya, I've been really hoping for a nicer Windows interface for 2 years now. I was sort of hoping the Ipad interface could have been ported/reused at some level on Windows since it is their core system.

I haven't tried the mouse pad on the Surface keyboard yet, I "think" if you swipe up/down on the right side of it, it acts as a mouse wheel? mmm, need to try that...

I think I tried that but cant be certain. I got my i5 Surface for Christmas so I'm still learning all its and Windows 8.1's tricks.

I'm gonna try this the first chance I get. 2 finger swipe down on the touchpad of the keypad acts as a mouse scroll wheel.

Nevermind. It didn't work...

I have begun to use the pen a lot, and now I do not even bring a mouse to the game sessions.
