I was wondering if it's possible to assign user defined keyboard shortcuts to parts of the app in app designer.
For example,using a menu item with ctrl+L, or simply just L. Not sure if this is possible, but if anyone knows, please share
Thanks!

I am trying to use this same method to update Values from exiting buttons.
Is the app.ChangeData a button or a callback function?
In my usecase i have a State button app.STOPbutton and a callback app.StopButtonValueChanged. I am trying to update a global variable with a keyboard press that is already actiavted when the State button app.STOPButton is pressed through the app.StopButton Changed callback.
Any guidance is appreciated.
function figure1KeyPress(app, event)
key = event.Key;
switch key
case 's'
app.STOPButtonValueChanged(app);
app.Message.Value = key; % return key value
case 'o'
app.SafetySwitchValueChanged(app);
app.Message.Value = key; % return key value
case 'r'
app.RESUMEButton(app);
app.Message.Value = key;
end
end
