Have you tried to use the KeyDown event with EventHandler? Also you can do things at the full Notebook level using NotebookEventActions. And if you want to get even more Draconian (i.e., creative) you can use FrontEndEventActions. I haven't had time to experiment with these for you, but give them a try... Hope this helps, --David On Apr 13, 3:33 am, Adrian Lupascu <Adrian.Lupa... at lkb.ens.fr> wrote: > Hi everyone, > > I am interested to include in a program a part in which the program > waits until either of two specific keys are pressed, and once this > happens waiting is over and the one key (ut of the two) which was > pressed determines the value of a variable.
