how to define a certain key on the keyboard?
I forget how to define a key to be a switch, for example, I want the "space" to be the switch instead of the mouse.
can somebody tell?
Many Thanks!
i'm assuming that by "be a switch" you mean to switch the state of a toggle box, for example...
correct me if i am wrong.
key
->
sel # (test this out w/ a numbox if necessary)
->
toggle

You are so new to Max, that I am certain you do have a version later
than 4.5.5:
Copy the text part from the e-mail, switch to Max, go through all the
menus and search for somthing which would make you think: "that might
work" then try, if it doesn't, search on, you'll find it...
(if you have an older version it would not work, the upgrade from 4.5 is
free...)
In general I'd suggest to try harder. Beside searching the menus, you
can search the documentation. Wait at least 30 minutes before you post a
question (try to find the solution within that time), especially the
other question you sent regarding a standard key on the keyboard, make
me believe you are very new to computers in general. Most things will
fold up if you try hard and its MUCH, MUCH MORE FUN to find out yourself
than getting an answer from the list. And what you learn by finding the
solution yourself, will remain longer in your memory as well...
You are welcome, have FUN with Max...
Stefan

Hello, please see my additional main post / patch about getting keyboard information. Hopefully it will be useful to anyone wanting to use the keyboard (either key down, key up, or both) information..... pretty much every key is represented, and easily understood.
Enjoy!
