Keyboard shortcut to change the screens of a dash

General Feature requests
1

I could add a keyboard shortcut to change between the screens of a dash, as in the case of the one I use, Virtual Cockpit. Thank you.

2

Steering Wheel button 1 toggles thru the views in Virtual Cockpit. You can use Shift+1 to simulate Steering Wheel Button 1.

Hi,

Is there a way to actually switch the DASHES from keyboard?

I got few premium ones, and in change of a mood, i like to change the dash itself.

Right now, the only way is to get the mouse and start clicking.

How I would assume doing, if you would assign some keyboard shortcuts, to iterate the “recent” boards.

Iterating thru recent dashboards list could be done. We are a little short on keyboard shortcuts though, have to think about this.

5

Why not make it some sort of an event, that can be tied to any keyboard event, for example steering wheel 9 and 0. ?

Hi @realdashdev, do you think its possible to have that functionailty? I am a software guy (.net) may be I can contribute?

7

You can tie any action to steering wheel buttons just by defining a trigger for them. As for switching dashboard files from the action, honestly, I completely forgot this. Will add to feature request list now.

Hi @realdashdev,

I have almost managed to set up everything I wanted, few small things remaining before I can wrap my car and start assembling the interior )

One of those is to be able to select a dash from gallery via keyboard (or steering wheel) as discussed above. Do you think this feature will be available soon?

Thanks in Advance

There are new actions:

Next Recent Dashboard
Previous Recent Dashboard

Those can be used to toggle entire dash file, you just have to setup your recent items in Gallery by manually loading the desired dashboards.

As for making a action to choose whatever dashboard from gallery is not easy to implement as the dash system has no access to downloadable dashboards and/or their local filenames in order to load them. Accessing recent dashes is the best compromise we could easily implement.

Do I have to configure the button with the next dash trigger on all panels? because I created the trigger in one dash it even works, however when going to the next dash the button disappears because because I created it in another dash in the next dash it will not be there, so my question is I have to create this button with triggers in all dash? The aim is to switch the dash via multicast using another device as a control

12

Your post is kind of random. What are you trying to achieve? Different dash pages? Or different dashes in general?

13

On the unit with multicast you should have 1 button to tell the other unit to switch dashes.

14

It is not possible to create a dash visible button that appears automatically on all dashboards.

You can make global triggers and actions that work regardless of the loaded dashboard. There you could use an input to switch dashboard pages.
