Hi -
Very new to QLC+, reading the manual and watching tutorials.

Sorry if this has been asked, but a quick search didn't turn up an answer.

Is it possible to just use the computer keyboard up/down arrow keys to move up and down the cue list or scene list to select scenes? A few years ago, I modified a USB number keypad into a foot pedal that used the up and down arrow keys to move forward and backward through a list of MIDI commands for my keyboards. Now, I'd like to use it to do the same thing to change scenes in QLC+. Ideally, I'd set up a list of scenes that correspond to the song our band is playing and to change scenes within that song, I'd hit the down arrow to trigger the next scene in the list. Possible? Or is there another way to accomplish this. We don't play to a click, so everything has to be triggered manually.

Edit: Just to be clear - this isn't a MIDI question. I'd be using the keypad to move the laptop cursor up and down a list.

You can use the 'key combination' throughout most of the functions in QLC+

This is also true for the cue list
