External keyboard

Post by csteadman »

I would like to use a character from an external Bluetooth "keyboard" to actuate the next step in a program; specifically the characters required are the left and right cursor arrow keys. At the moment the step is actuated by touching a button.
The "keyboard" is actually a foot operated switch designed to turn pages on an iPad application such as foreScore. It sends a right cursor key symbol to turn a page. any ideas would be appreciated.

Yes, this is a very important suggestion.

External keyboard will be supported in next release. Please see "4.5 version" topic for details.

thanks. I look forward to the new version. Another most useful thing to include would be a "Case" structure - would save the horrors of nested " ifs"

What is the difference with ON/GOTO or ON/GOSUB :?:
