	To set up or change key mappings, select the Key Mappings option from the Edit menu (Edit > Key Mappings...). For each ~~numeric~~ key, you can select a component and for each component, you can select the individual element that you wish to control with that key. For example if you wish to use the '0' key to control the 5th switch in a component named 'Switches1' then select 'Switches1' in the Component list for Key 0 and then select 5 in the Element list for Key 0.		To set up or change key mappings, select the Key Mappings option from the Edit menu (Edit > Key Mappings...). For each key you can either enter an expression

			'''Eg. Count = Count + 1'''

			Or enter the name of a user macro and the keyboard key within brackets and the [[Macro_Icon_Properties\|Parameter value]] will be passed - See the Flowcode example below.

This can be any calculation line for your flowchart or a user macro call.


	~~Using Key mapping with elements that toggle will toggle the element on/off.~~		'''Example'''

	~~Using key mapping with press to make elements will send the element into its high, active, state when the key is pressed.~~

	~~Releasing the key will return the element to its low, inactive state.~~

	~~Some components do not have~~ key-mappings ~~associated with them, but you can still simulate a click on any component.

	Here is a simple example showing key mappings working with the MIAC component in simulation. Pressing the 'a' button on the keyboard or clicking one of the MIAC's keypad buttons will toggle the state of transistor output 1 in the simulation.		2 = Toggle Switch2

	Key mappings allow you to use the keyboard keys 0 to 9 or A to Z to control components attached to the microcontroller. For example if you have a bank of 8 push switches connected to the microcontroller, you could map the keys 1 to 8 to mimic the pushing and releasing of these switches when the flowchart is simulated.
