PV Triggers

Triggers starting with "pv trigger input" can only be used for data input action ("pv input trigger" property constant).
Triggers starting with "pv trigger selection" can only be used for data selection action ("pv select trigger" property constant).
Other triggers can be used for both data input and selection actions. They also can be used with the "pv drag trigger" property constant. Triggers constants can be added in order to authorize several keys. When the same trigger is set for both data input and selection actions, the input trigger has priority.
The wording "ctrl" refers to the Ctrl key under Windows and the Command key under MacOS.

Constant	Type	Value	Comment
pv trigger input key	Longint	1	Data entry is triggered by any keystroke. In this case, browsing between cells is only possible using the keyboard (Tab and Shift+Tab to move horizontally, Carriage return and Shift+Carriage return to move vertically, or the arrow keys).
pv trigger input on enter	Longint	2	Data entry is triggered by the Enter key (numerical keypad).
