    Linking a macro to keyboard key

    Hello,
    I am probably just overlooking a simple technique. What I am needing to do is write a macro in Mach and have a F1 or F2 keyboard key to run it. I can write the macros. Have done it already but I have them linked to screen buttons. I have built a MP2CP pendant kit and want to now use the Mac1 and Mac2 buttons to activate the same macros as the screen buttons. Just can't seem to figure it out. Please what am I missing? Thanks for the help in advance. Ron

    Assign a hotkey to the button in the screen designer.
