Can I use a wireless page turn device to open tiddlers from a list - or scroll through already open tiddlers?

Hi TwWizards

I'm about to purchase an airturn pedal which I will use for my android tablet to flip through musical scores (in Musescore and Music list helper) and to change patches in Morphwiz Play . I've collected a lot of scores and setlists in TW5 documents - and I'd love to be able to go through a list/set of tiddlers - or scroll through already open tiddlers.

Will I be able to do this "out of the box" - or does TW not "know how to turn pages/tiddlers"?

Cheers Måns Mårtensson

Apparently, the Airturn bluetooth pedal is treated as a keyboard input to the tablet, with configurable "keyboard mappings" that can generate arrow keys, pgup/pgdn and maybe even mouse clicks.   It's then up to TW to decide how to respond to those events, perhaps with a custom widget.

Hi Eric

Thank you.

I tried two versions of the airturn device in a musicstore - with two  Android tablets. They worked fine with Musescore - I couldn't make them change patches in Morphwiz, flip pages in a pdf document or scroll a webpage. I tried for a couple of hours and I decided that the unit was much to expensive for my wallet.

 If I was making a living playing chamber music - I would buy one - and an iPad as well. Now I have two very cheap chinese Android tablets and a repertoire where the longest songs are two pages long.

I will attach them to my note stand with velcro and enjoy that I don't even have to flip pages because I have two tablets :-)
