Keyboard Shortcuts in OMI

I'm not aware of any key-script in a layout, like you find in in a InTouch application, but others might know better.
But you could place a symbol in your pane that's always open, (ie in the application-header.)
And use a Animation Script - Action in the symbol.

Set the symbol with the action script to use a Key Equivalent to your desired shortcut.

Might not be the pretty solution you might want, but it could be a workaround until someone else has a better idea.

The downside is that the symbol and element can not be hidden or disabled to work, and you probably do not want the user to be able to press it by accident.
But you can get creative in how to resolve that, even a transparent 1x1 pixel animation will work.

Hi Richard, I did try that approach, however I found that the pane needs to have focus for the shortcut to work. Do you find the same issue?

Unfortunately that could be the case, need to get some statement from the OMI-Team on what to expect.
This is a common feature in InTouch that I don't know how to resolve fully in OMI.

Yes, the feature is on the backlog, but we have not been able to prioritise it yet, so I cannot commit to target dates or a version in which it will be addressed.

A big thanks for following up on this Ernst.

We did some testing on this and found a tricky way to add a lot of custom script on various objects/graphics to make sure to capture the key-stroke regardless of pane selected. It worked but in practice you will never go for that. Too complex to maintain. Exited to see the coming releases :-)

Hi Jakob, I would be interested to see your solution if you'd be willing to share.
