    Well, you can use default hotkeys configuration in Visualization Manager.

    Simple example:

    Keep in mind that it not works in CDS IDE service visu. Check it in web-visualization with CODESYS Control Win V3.

    I am thinking about text input to CODESYS string variable, for example from barcode scanner, it is possible ?

    It's other task, but yep, it's possible, if you could connect to this scanner (for example, through RS-232).

    Use CAA SerialCom library to work with COM-port directly (send data/receive data).
