All Sport Pro: How do I use Hot Keys?

Topic

Hot Keys in All Sport Pro allow operators to assign keyboard inputs to game control and scoring actions using a standard USB or Bluetooth keyboard.

This article covers how to set up Hot Keys, assign key mappings, and use them during game operation to improve speed and usability.

 

Environment

  • Product: All Sport Pro
  • Components: Hot Keys configuration, keyboard input
  • Control System: All Sport Pro

Steps

Hot Keys let you map keyboard shortcuts to scoring and game control actions in All Sport Pro.

Instead of tapping the touchscreen for every action, you can assign keys on a standard keyboard to trigger functions like:

  • Starting the game clock
  • Adding a score
  • Toggling possession

The keyboard connects to the device running the All Sport Pro user interface (tablet, laptop, or show control computer), not to the controller itself.

⚠️ Hot Keys do not include default mappings and must be configured by the user.

    Configure Hot Keys
    1. You will see three sections:
      • Game Controls – clock, period, and game-level actions
      • Home – scoring and stat actions for the home team
      • Guest – scoring and stat actions for the guest team
    2. Select a section to expand and view available actions.
    3. Each section includes:
      • ACTION (what the key does)
      • KEY (assigned keyboard input)

        Assign a Hot Key
        1. Click the KEY field next to any action
        2. Press the single key you want to assign
        3. Repeat for each action you want to map
        4. Click Save when finished
          • Changes are not applied until you select Save.

        💡Notes:

        • Assigning a new key will replace any existing key for that action.
        • Only single keys are supported
        • Combination keys (Ctrl, Alt, Shift) are not supported
        Suggested Key Mapping Examples
        • Baseball
          • B = Ball
          • S = Strike
          • O = Out
        • Clock Control
          • Spacebar = Start/Stop Game Clock
        Use Hot Keys During a Game
        • Press the assigned key to trigger the mapped action
        • Hot Keys work alongside touchscreen controls
        • Each user account maintains its own configuration
        • Hot Keys only work when the All Sport Pro window is active. If another application or browser tab is selected, key presses will not trigger actions

        Key Features

        • Works with any standard keyboard
        • No additional hardware required
        • Key mappings are saved to the user account
        • Works alongside the touchscreen

        Tips

        • There are no default key mappings
        • You can leave actions unmapped
        • Multiple operators can use different key layouts on separate devices
        • Hot Keys do not interfere with the touchscreen
        Troubleshooting Steps
        1. Key does not trigger an action
          • Verify a key has been assigned
          • Confirm the correct key is being pressed
          • Ensure changes were saved
          • Confirm the All Sport Pro window is active and in focus
        2. Action does not trigger after assigning a key
          • Confirm you selected Save
        3. Action does not match expectation
          • Review your assigned key mappings
          • Confirm the correct action is mapped

          ⚠️ Important: Hot Keys are unassigned by default
