short cut to boolean

[dgholstein]

I've used keyboard shortcuts to activate menu items -- it's very convenient to use ^o to open a file and ^q to exit the program, etcetera.  How do I use a keyboard shortcut to toggle a boolean?

The easiest way is to use Key Navigation on the boolean (Properties > Key Navigation).  You could also get fancy and use Key Events on the panel, and toggle the boolean whenever a certain key is pressed.  Specifically, register for the "Key Down" event on the panel, then check the key that was pressed, and if it was a certain key, toggle the boolean with the Value(Signaling) property of the boolean, so if you have any events waiting on the boolean, those will fire as well.

Have you tried to right clic on the boolean, choose "Advance" >> "Key navigation" and then select the shorcut you want.

dead easy as you see 😉

Hello

When we click on key navigation, there we can see only set of short cut keys available. What if we need to give some other key as short cut key??
