I want to have a string perform a command when any key is pressed. Does anyone know how?

Look in the manual for hotstrings.

Sorry for the previous post being so unclear.

Allow me to explain: I'm trying to make a sound fire whenever a key is pressed, however I don't want to have to write a hotstring for every key, that would be inefficient and quite laborious.

I've already looked in the manual, I can't seem to find the right thing. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place?

Thanks,

For future reference... I think your mistaking "HotStrings" for "HotKeys". If you want a sound to fire everytime a key is pressed, look in the help file for "Input". Set the Length to 1 (one of the options, specify "L1"), and make it beep when it receives a single key's input.

I can't seem to get it to work, could you give me an example?
