Is there a way to constrain the keyboard widget to a single note in toggle mode?

Hello,

I would like to use the keyboard widget in toggle mode. However I would like a new key to toggle off any key previously switched on. Is it possible? With scripting maybe?

A bit tricky, but possible:

var keyVal = value[getIndex(id)]
if (keyVal == getProp('this', 'on')) {
  // if key is pressed
  if (locals.lastKey) {
    // release last pressed key
    // sync:false to prevent forced release from triggering the script 
    set(locals.lastKey, 0, {sync:false})
  }
  // store pressed key 
  locals.lastKey = id
} else if (id == locals.lastKey ) {
  // if key is released manually
  locals.lastKey = 0
}
