Choosing Hotkeys 

 
IMPORTANT! 

Before  you  can  configure  Pedal  Pro’s  hotkeys,  be  sure  to 
quit the application that you will be using the foot control 
with  (e.g.  Dragon  speech  recognition).  If  you  do  not,  then 
any keystrokes you enter as a hotkey for Pedal Pro  will go 
into  that  application,  making  it  impossible  to  configure 
Pedal Pro. 
 
First,  you  need  to  determine  the  hotkey  you  want  to 
configure  for  each  pedal  on  the  foot  control.  To  do  this, 
you will want to see what hotkeys are currently being used 
by your application.  
 

TIP -

 If you are using Dragon, the image to the right shows 

the Hotkey configuration screen.  
 
Pedal  Pro  only  sends  a  hotkey  when  you  use  the  foot 
control. 

If  you  want  to  change  the  function  that  a 

particular hotkey performs, this must be changed in the 
desired application, not Pedal Pro.

 

 
 
Now that you have your hotkeys set up in your application, 
you  can  assign  them  to  the  desired  pedal  on  the  foot 
control in Pedal Pro. 
 
1. Enter a name in the 

Label

 field (optional) 

2. Enter a hotkey in the Depress and/or Release fields 
3. Click 

Update

 to save your settings 

 
Special keys can be selected from the dropdown menu (to 
the right of each field) if needed. Each field is limited to 
only 1 alphanumeric character. So your hotkey cannot be 

A5

12

, or such. However, the hotkey can contain multiple 

keystrokes when using special keys. For example, if you 
want the hotkey to be SHIFT+CTRL+4, then simply press all 
three of those keys on the keyboard at the same time and 
it will be entered.
