PlayoutONE keyboard shortcuts
When you activate the ‘Enable keyboard shortcuts' (previously 'enable PlayoutONE keyboard’) option in settings, PlayoutONE will look for a combination of keystrokes which will trigger various functions.
This will allow you to program your keyboard shortcuts to perform common actions or use the USB PlayoutONE Keyboard or other third-party peripherals.

🎚️ D&R Airlite mixers
The D&R Airlite has a special keyboard mapper app which needs to be running for the Airlite mixer to interface with the computer.
As long as this is running and PlayoutONE is configured to capture the keypresses you just need to configure the keyboard mapper.
