I have a dashboard with a bunch of ui_buttons, basically to switch Tabs.
is there a way to use a keyboard shortcut, for example Alt+1, Alt+2 etc to click
the buttons instead of a mouse click ?
Don't think you can do it directly, however you can use node-red-contrib-keyboard-mouse-triggers (node) - Node-RED and make your own keyboard triggers that will trigger the button or direct the flow behind the button.
Thanks for the direction. But, Unable to install the contrib-node.
gives me below error, unable to make sense of it. something related to iohook.

Iohook ? They all say that it can’t find python installed anywhere.
Strange!. i tried 2-3 times to install keyboard-mouse triggers contrib node, looks like each time it gives a different error? i was sure i read something about io-hook. did not read the error log before copy pasting
