    I can't seem to program Eject as a trigger key.

    Please advise!

    1. Hi Erik

      This is likely because it's occupied by macOS.
      Try going to Keyboard in System Preferences and check the Shortcuts tab.

          Thanks, Christian!
          I just checked and it doesn't show up anywhere in System Prefs/Keyboard/Shortcuts.

          I am starting by integrating everything I was doing with Controllermate into SF - mostly successful but there are a few things I hope we can accomplish here.

          In the Controllermate app I am able to reconfigure the driver of specific devices. For example, I used to use a simple USB Numpad ($8 on amazon) and via Controllermate, reconfigure the driver deactivate all of the keys so nothing would be typed and then I can use them all as triggers.
          It goes on, but you can see here I was able to change the behavior of any/every key to 'None' instead of 'Default'

          Here is all that it offers me to reconfigure on a standard Apple Keyboard - as you can see, I am able to 'kill' the Eject button and then use it as a trigger.

          Is anything like this possible?

          1. Ah sorry. When I was replying to this you had said "F13" which is why my answer was that you could change it in Keyboard preferences.
            SoundFlow unfortunately doesn't have the same low level hardware integration that ControllerMate has - at least not yet. So if you encounter keys that SoundFlow does not recognize now, your best bet unfortunately is to keep CM and SF co existing for those specific keys / hardware devices, and then for example use CM to remote control SF.
