Appdeveloper: use a short key?

Hi Steve
Is it possible to have a shortcut key for an existing switch in Appdeveloper?
For example, “space” to start recording.

Hi Stefan,
For PC developer you can use Key Mappings available from the Edit menu.
You can assign a calculation to a keypress, for example I have this to toggle a variable on and off when the S key is pressed.

You can monitor for this variable changing by having a decision in your main loop checking if the variable is equal to the old value.
It works fine for the PC developer source and for the export.
If you want this for web developer then let us know and we can see what's possible.

Hi Ben
Perfect!
I add key mapping and use the switch with call macro if click (OnButtonClick). This works very well.
Only the switch doesn't have such a good 3D effect.
short key and switch works nice together.
