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.

Hope this helps
