You can use this sketch for controlling Inkscape.
I've put my favourite commands, you can change the sketch for implementing what you want.
All Inkscape commands, shortcuts and functions are listed here.
ENCODER
- Clockwise Rotation: Zoom IN (+)
- Counter-Clockwise Rotation: Zoom OUT (-)
- Button: Alternate between Zoom Fit (5) / Zoom 100% (1)
Some people complains about they cannot write + and - in the Text areas because those keys are associated with the zoom function and so by pressing them the zoom changes and no signs are written.
The key associated with the zoom functions are + and - located on the Numeric Keypad! The + and - on the keyboard (+ on the same key where are located also *]} and + on the same key where is located the underscore) don't affect the zoom function.
