4. Confirmation: Once you let go of the keys, the keybind box will update to show the assigned keybind

Keybind Actions

You can also bind keys to various SmoredBoard functions through the Settings menu: (note in future updates the keybinds page will look much better)

  • - Open Settings in the application
  • - Navigate to the "Keybinds" tab
  • - Follow the same process as sound keybinds

Tip: Using the "Stop All Sound" keybind is highly recommended!!!

Using Keybinds in Other Applications

To use keybinds while other applications are in focus, ensure the Keybinds toggle is enabled in settings:

For certain games or programs, the SmoredBoard may require administrator permissions to detect keybinds. Run the SmoredBoard as administrator if keybinds aren't being detected.
