All Sequence Buttons on every page can be assigned a keyboard shortcut. Page buttons can also be assigned a keyboard shortcut. This can allow the user to press keyboard keys to run the light show instead of using a mouse.

Note: there is One universal shortcut key that functions when in Playback Mode:

Delete Key --- Black Out

 

To assign a Sequence Button a keyboard shortcut right click on the button and select Assign/Delete Keyboard Shortcut.

A dialog like the one below will appear in the center of the screen. Press the keyboard button to assign and the press the Save Keyboard Shortcut button.

On the assigned button there will be a letter indicating which key is the buttons shortcut. The latch option will cause the shortcut key, when pressed, to turn on the button and leave it on, while releasing all other buttons on the page or button group. The Bump option will release all on the page and press the button only until the key is released. To stack buttons using keyboard shortcuts, the shift or control key must be held down at the same time the key is pressed.

The same process is followed to assign keyboard shortcuts to page buttons.

When a keyboard shortcut key is pressed, all buttons in the group or page will release and the button will be turned on. To stack buttons when using the keyboard shortcuts, press the control, or shift key in combination with the key.
