I’m using the panel execute DAT taking the key value to do a text writeon
The panel will not detect a keystroke until I click wt pane wit a mouse -starting in perform mode
BUG? any worksarounds? installation opens in 2 days.

a click with a mouse is a workaround, but not idea for a museum installation. I also tried the click function in python at startup (execute DAT) to simulate this …no go…

In the Panel Class you can use .setFocus() or .interactMouse() to set the focus to a panel when needed.

thanks Ben!!!
Used this (wit a 1 sec delay)
op(/project1).setFocus(moveMouse=True)
op(‘/project1’).interactMouse(.2,.2,leftClick=1)
