Moho Forum

I do most of my work with a pen on a touchscreen, this is the most comfortable way for me to work due to problems with my hands.

The UI for Moho isn't built for this, though. I've added extensions for a lot of things that really need to be in there, like undo/redo and deselect all, which save me a ton of time. But I could save so much more time if I had buttons for other things like delete. It seems like such a simple thing to implement, something even someone bad at scripting like me should be able to figure out, but I've had no luck.

Is it possible to make a script that simply inputs a key (or key combination) when tapped? If I could do that for at least the delete key it would save a lot of time, and if I could make a new one for any key or key combo then I could do most of my work without having to bring out the keyboard.

Ah yes, that does help LOT, thanks!

For future reference though, is there a way to script an extension that's just a key press or combination? I'm sure it'll come up again at some point. I've searched around a lot, but I guess it's something so simple that nobody's wanted to do it or needed any help to figure it out.

So far - my only solution to send keys from a Moho tool button back into Moho is to invoke an external Python script that sets focus back to Moho and then issues the desired key sequence.

Similar to below - which reloads Moho scripts:
