Use Non-Printing Characters on a Player

 

BrightSign players can accept input from non-printing characters on a keyboard. For example, to have the space bar trigger an event, you would enter "<sp>" as the input value for the Keyboard event in your BrightAuthor:connected or BrightAuthor project. 

To do this:

  1. Select the code in the chart below that corresponds to the keyboard character you need.

  2. If you are using BrightAuthor:connected, add a Keyboard Event to your content and enter the selected code in the Specify keyboard input field field. If you are using BrightAuthor, add a Keyboard Input Event and enter the code in the Specify keyboard input field.
