# Keyboard Input Guide
## Capabilities
We provide two distinct types of functionality, `Keyboard Shortcut`'s [macros] and `Key Press`'s [individual key press]
### Limitations
We are not designed to provide a whole bunch of functionality here, if you need a whole bunch of keys instead of 1 or 2 you may want to use another utility such as [OpenVR2Key](https://github.com/BOLL7708/OpenVR2Key) by Boll7708 on Github (no affiliation)
### Keyboard Shortcuts
- Sends One or Many keys to the OS like a macro.
- Cannot `hold` keys down
- Except in the case of Modifiers (alt, ctrl, etc.)
### Key Press
- Sends One and only One key to the OS.
- Extra Keys Will be Ignored
- Mirrors button state on controller
- If you hold down `a` on a controller the `key` will be held down
- If you release `a` on a controller the `key` will be released
- `Key Press System`
- This Action will ALWAYS be use-able while OVRAS is running
- `Key Press Misc.`
- This Action MAY not always be use-able depending on other Settings/Binds*
- Pending a future update.
## How To Set
- Go to the Settings File
- Windows: `%Appdata%\AdvancedSettings-Team` (`C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\AdvancedSettings-Team`)
- Linux: `~/.config/AdvancedSettings-Team/`
- open `OVR Advanced Settings.ini` with a text editor
- Go to `[keyboardShortcuts]`
- Add your sequence right after the `=` for the action you want.
- By Default Keyboard's are set to ctrl+shift+m `^>m`
- By Default Key Press's are set to F9 `F9`
- Example for ctrl+alt+delete for keyboardOne Action
- `keyboardOne=^*DEL`
- Example for Key Press System for a`
- `keyPressSystem=a`

## Common Issues
### Case Sensative
- basic characters are all LOWER case, while keys such as ENTER are all UPPER case.
### Custom Keys Not Saving.
- We only load keybinds from file on start-up, and save based on what is in memory (not in file)
- **ONLY** edit the settings file while Advanced Settings is **not** running.
### Focus Issues
- we deliver the keypress to the OS, depending on your set-up and program you may have to have the window "in-focus"
### Multiple Key Events
- you must separate multiple events with a space (` `)
- alt + tab, alt + F4 = `*TAB *F4`
