What do you use the rotary encoders for? - eviltoast

Since the reddit community is now private, I want to ask this question again here :) The encoders intrigue me but I just lack the imagination to figure out how to use them for anything else but volume control…

    Left Knob: Volume Up/Down Click to Mute

    Right Knob: Scroll up/Down Click to Refresh

    In GIMP, Right Knob scrolls in and out

    In Kdenlive, Right Knob scrolls timeline left and right

    In Game, Right Knob alt+tabs to swap between game and discord for sending messages, cause the in game UI sucks and is slow.

    I have one set to tab on clockwise and shift+tab on anticlockwise, allowing to you hold alt, shift, ctrl or gui while turning it to determine the function. It’s also great for code indentation.

    As for the inwards click function, I set that to caps lock as it’s not used frequently but nice to have when needed
