In LabVIEW, you can bind a keyboard key to a control, such as a Boolean button, to trigger actions more efficiently. Here’s how to bind and unbind keys step-by-step:
1. Binding a Key
To bind a keyboard key to a control:
-
Right-click on the control in the Front Panel.
-
Go to Advanced > Key Navigation.
-
In the Key Navigation window, select the desired keyboard key to associate with the control.
For example, in the image below, the F1 key has been assigned to a Boolean control:
2. Unbinding a Key
To remove (unbind) a key from a control:
- Identify the Boolean button you want to unbind.

- Right-click on the control and select Properties to confirm its name and ensure it’s the correct button.

- Once confirmed, go to Key Navigation.

- In the Key Navigation settings, change Focus or Toggle to None.
- Click OK to confirm the changes.
This will remove the key binding from the selected Boolean button.
