[ANSWERED] Pause Engine without board op

[joshuawg]

Hey all! 

Trying to build in a pause engine panic button from the stage. Preferably it's cued from QLab. I know there isn't an actor for this, but is there a way to trigger the command/shift/P shortcut using either midi or OSC?

Isadora doesn't have any way of accessing this option at this time. You could use some other software to emulate keystrokes on the machine so that Isadora responds in that way.

@dusx Thanks for the quick response. I'll look for some options, though if any come to mind, let me know.

@joshuawg Got it working pretty painlessly with Keyboard Maestro!

If they're both running on the same computer you could use an AppleScript cue in QLab to bring Isadora frontmost then tell system events to keystroke P using Cmd+Shift

Best wishes,
