Selecting Print Layouts Using Keyboard keys
This article explains how you can use the F5 and F6 keyboard keys to choose a print layout from those you make available in a Print layout grid item.

Note: This solution requires RightBooth version 7.35.16 or later.

1 - Add a Print layout item to the event
The best place to add a Print layout item is on the Show photo event screen or on the Photo options event screen.
Here we have added a print layout onto the Show photo event screen containing a choice of 3 layouts:

Notice that the Layout grid property Select item 1 has been ticked.  This will cause the layout grid to automatically start by selecting the first item in the grid each time the event screen is shown when the event is playing.

For details on how to define and add print layouts see this article:  Multiple layouts

2 - Allow keyboard keys to alter the layout selection
This step assumes your User input mode is set to either  Multiple keyboard keys  or  USB buttons:

  • Add a new button item onto the event screen.
  • Set its Click action to: Next item:

By default, the Next item action is associated with the keyboard key F6. See RightBooth Settings -> User input 

Now play the event.
Then when the Photo options event screen is shown,  each time you press the F6 key on the keyboard, the layout grid will move onto select the next layout in the grid.

Notes
  • It is not necessary for the Next item button to be visible on screen, it merely needs to be included so that the F6 key will operate.  So feel free to move the button off into the screen margins if required.
  • If your print layout grid contains a lot of choices, you might also want to add a second button on the screen and give it the click action: Previous item.  This is associated with the F5 key and it will then allow you to move the selection back to the previous layout in the grid each time you press the F5 key.
