# RelayKeys Desktop (QT)

If you don't want to use any specific AAC software, you can get going with our demonstration software "RelayKeys-QT" (aka RelayKeys or RelayKeys Desktop). You will find this on your desktop as well as your start programmes if you have installed our software. It has 4 main buttons on the left:

### Capture

This screen enables you to capture the keystrokes and mouse movements and any captured input gets sent directly to the currently connected device. To connect a device - see "Devices" screen.

### Macro

This screen enables you to create a macro file. This records your mouse or keystrokes and enables you to play it back. This is useful for creating long sequences of commands or say for writing a common piece of text such as a signature. You can play it back in this software or use the macro with the [CLI](https://docs.acecentre.org.uk/products/relaykeys/using-relaykeys/pages/g9qsB0SiUdjOifk94RZz#command-f-file.txt-macro) tool.

### Connection

![](https://1065911005-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Ftmmq04xl8IrJjV6lZCnr%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-7f03eeece56fed866ff903fad66f8b3b353eed4f%2FScreenshot%202022-07-26%20at%2020.08.16.png?alt=media)

This screen enables you to switch between paired devices and change the current mode. This means the RelayKeys hardware can run either as a wired dongle or a wireless device. Use the switch mode to change these modes.

### Devices

![](https://1065911005-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Ftmmq04xl8IrJjV6lZCnr%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-14adfaa5b4ab3ada17cf69b6bbdb3f99644b4cac%2FScreenshot%202022-07-26%20at%2020.08.26.png?alt=media)

This screen enables you to add and remove paired devices - as well as removing all devices from the relaykeys hardware.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.acecentre.org.uk/products/relaykeys/using-relaykeys/relaykeys-desktop-qt.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
