Hi Ben

On my program I have 2 switch.

To press this switch with the mouse or mousepad is working nice.

is there a way to control this switch with the computer keyboard?

As a sample: if i press the key R or F11 it will record and if I press the key s or F12 it will stop the recording

regards

Stefan

It's easy to do using the keyboard monitor component.

There is a simple example in the wiki at https://www.flowcode.co.uk/wiki/index.p ... _Control_)

I have another solution that does not need an additional component or code. Use "Key mapping" which is available in the "Edit" menu. Attached is an example, which also uses the new "Macro called" feature of switches.

Hi Martin, Hi Steve

I have tried the example from the wiki but it does not work properly.
up/dwn moves the position of the button. I did not manage to correct this, but then FC10 froze.

I have understood and modified Steve's example and it works fine.

Thanks to both

regards

Stefan
