Emit X

Emit X allows to assign keyboard shortcut to Surface Pen Button (click, double click, press and hold). Good for digital-painting.

Duplicate x64\emit-x.exe (for 64bit) or x86/emit-x.exe (for 32bit), and change its name as below, finally register as "Launch as classic app" on "Pen and Windows Ink" setting.

• To assign B key, change to emit-b.exe
• To assign F11 key, change to emit-f11.exe
• To assign Alt + Ctrl + Z key combination, change to emit-alt-ctrl-z.exe
• To assign Windows + PrintScreen key combination, change to emit-win-prtscr.exe

Name is case-insensitive. Currently, supports the following keys and its combinations:

• Modifiers keys Ctrl (or Ctl), Alt, Shift
• Windows Key Win (or Windows)
• Function keys F1-F20
• Home and End Keys Home, End
• Page Up and Down Keys PageUp, PageDown
• Directional Keys Left, Right, Up, Down
• Numerical keys 0 - 9
• Alphabetical keys A - Z.
• Print Screen Key PrintScreen (or PrtScr, PrtScreen, PrintScr)
• Delete and Backspace key Delete (or Del), Backspace (or BS, Back)
• Escape key Escape or ESC
• Spacebar Space
• Enter key ENTER (or ENT)
• Tab key Tab

This is "workaround" app. I'm expecting Microsoft implement genuine feature.

Tested on Surface Pro 4 + Windows 10 + Photoshop CC. Works on Windows 8.1 and later.
