Usage (gig file script only):

On Keystroke matching "t"

    // Execute if the user types the single letter ‘t’

End

 

On Keystroke matching "next"

    // Execute if the user (quickly) types the sequence ‘n’ ‘e’ ‘x’ ‘t’

End

 
Note that prefixes must be unique throughout the script. For example, if you write:

On Keystroke matching "ta"

 
then you can also write:

On Keystroke matching "tb"

On Keystroke matching "txyz" 

 
but you cannot write:

On Keystroke matching "tap"

 
because the prefix 'ta' has been previously used.

There are some restrictions on what characters are allowed in a key sequence. Also, keystroke events are only recognized when the main Gig Performer window has the focus.
