Deactivating shortcuts when virtual keyboard is opened?

Hello,
I set “r” as a shortcut for recording. When I open the virtual keyboard this shortcut is still active, so I can’t play a note with that key. Is there a way to deactivate shortcuts when using the virtual keyboard?

Hi,

The only way is to hide the On-screen Keyboard.

With “hide” you mean to close it?
This means I can‘t set the shortcut “r” for record when I want to use the on-screen-keyboard?
Edit: Another thing that I don’t understand yet: Why does the on-screen-keyboard filter all those other shortcuts on keys that are not even used for the on-screen keyboard?

correct.

The only thing to do is to change the keystroke assignment for the Record command to a keystroke that’s not on the onscreen keyboard. (I use F15)

Because they are used when the screen is in its piano keyboard mode

There used to be a message that would pop up saying “Blocked” Or “Cannot use shortcut with on-screen keyboard”, so I’m not sure what happened. I’ve never changed the “R” from recording and I use to be able to use it while utilizing the on-screen keyboard so. I’m guessing an update happened that removed that. Unfortunate, and I’m not sure why they’d take that step back. It removes the ability to use those keys as shortcuts when not using the keyboard in avoiding clicking those Key Commands while using that screen. Unfortunate
