GT Simulator3 - Use PC keyboard to enter values - Found!

[Olly_J 5]

Hi all,

I recently found out that you can turn on this option to allow the keyboard on your PC/laptop to enter values for data entry fields on the GT Simulator3 (screenshot attached). 

I realize there are many people on this forum that probably already know about this but in case there is anyone out there that didn't already know...I hope you find this useful.

This is a big deal to me because I like to thoroughly test my PLC code and HMIs/GOTs and now having to create screens with many entry-fields, being able to use the keyboard instead of dragging the mouse over the screen click here, click there just to enter values saves a lot of time and tedium.

I wish someone had shown me this 12 months ago.
