Is there a way to make hotkeys?

[Cory_K]

Is it possible to make hotkeys in LabVIEW.

I made several buttons in my program, such as 'run', 'save', 'clear' , etc

I would like to make hotkeys for them, for example press 'r' for 'run', press  's' for 'save', etc

Thanks for your help,

Cory

right click a control that has an event set up for it, select properties, key navigation, toggle

for instance, if you want to save a config file by pressing F1, set up a boolean control to trigger an event that saves the config file, right click the control, and set the key toggle

another option is to set up a Key Down? filter event in an event structure.  that event source is <This VI>
