It seemed pretty obvious to me that Daniel is talking about the possible keys that can be assigned to controls in LabVIEW's Key Navigation settings dialogue - please correct me if I'm wrong.
If all your controls are Booleans you could position a string control offscreen, set to 'update value while typing', and use an attribute node in a loop to keep returning key focus to this string control. When you detect a character being typed in the string control, take the appropriate action e.g. use a local to change the value of the appropriate Boolean. I'm sure there is a better way of doing it than this that someone else will be able to suggest. It might help if you could describe what kind of controls you have and how you want the key navigation to work. For example, will you have numerics? Strings? If the user starts typing in a numeric control, do you need to be able to detect that they have pressed (for example) 'Q' and this should immediately change the focus to a different control, or is it OK that they have to press Enter to update the numeric first? These things might affect the best way to achieve what you are looking for.
