Keyboard Shortcuts: Triggering Booth Functions from a Keyboard

In short

Admin Panel → Triggers → Keyboard Shortcuts lets you fire booth functions from a connected keyboard.

  • Handy for anything you’d rather trigger from an operator’s side than reach across to the touchscreen for.
  • Also handy for driving a booth from an external switch/pedal that acts like a keypress.
  • Every shortcut can be changed.
Admin Panel -> Triggers -> Keyboard Shortcuts

Each function has its own Modifier 1, Modifier 2, and Keystroke – hold both modifiers (if set) and press the keystroke to trigger it.

The defaults

Function Default
Trigger Singleshot Button 1
Trigger Multishot Button 2
Trigger Stripshot Button 3
Open Admin Panel Ctrl + O
Perform Default Action Enter
Toggle Booth Lock Ctrl + X – see Using the Booth Lock Screen
Open Event Images Ctrl + I
Reprint Last Photo Ctrl + P – the same action as the on-screen Reprint button covered in The General Tab
Restart Session Ctrl + R
Quit Software Ctrl + Q

Change a shortcut

Any of these can be changed to a different modifier/keystroke combination, or set to use only one modifier (or none at all, like the shot-trigger and Perform Default Action shortcuts above) – just pick new values from each function’s dropdowns.
