DataKeyText
The DataKeyText plug-in allows entering text to a container with text geometry using the keyboard. It allows defining actions to be taken as soon as the data arrives. In order for the data to arrive, the container must be in focus. The container is in focus when it is selected using the mouse.
Note: This plug-in is located in: Plugins -> Container plug-ins -> Data
Information: DataPool plug-ins only work properly on a single channel on the same machine.
