Foot Pedal Simulating Keyboard

General

SongBook+ can be operated with foot pedals that simulate certain keys of a computer keyboard. You can turn this function on here and assign the simulated keys to the functions you want.

Instead of such a foot pedal simulating a keyboard, this function can also be used with a real computer keyboard or a number pad.

Use keyboard adapterOffTurns on the foot pedal function.
This lets SongBook+ recognize the keystrokes of a foot pedal or keyboard listed below and trigger the actions linked with them.
Force the on-screen keyboardOnShows the on-screen keyboard even when a foot pedal simulating a keyboard is connected.
When a foot pedal is connected that simulates a computer keyboard, the operating system thinks that such a computer keyboard is really connected and that the on-screen keyboard is therefore no longer needed. With this setting, an on-screen keyboard is still forced as soon as you place the cursor in a text field.
Unfortunately, this does not always work smoothly because the operating system has to be tricked for it. If your foot pedal has a key that can show the on-screen keyboard, it is better to use that key on the foot pedal and turn this setting off.
