  Hi Gordon,

  I've attached the screen shot from my iPad plus my code in case anything might be causing it in there! I have tried playing with the NRF.setServices values to see if it makes any difference but still the same result.

  NRF.setAdvertising({}, {name: "Zoom Remote"});
  var kb = require("ble_hid_keyboard");
  
  // NRF.setServices(undefined, { hid : kb.report });
  
  var services = {
    0x180a: {
      0x2a50: {
        value:     [
          0x01,           /* Use USB Vendor IDs */
          0xac, 0x05,     /* Apple */
          0x5a, 0x02,     /* Internal Keyboard */
          0x00, 0x00
        ],
        readable:  true,
      }
    }
  };
  
  NRF.setServices(services, {
    advertise: [ 0x180a ],
    hid: kb.report
  });
  
  function btnPressed() {
    // Send 'Command + Shift + A'
      kb.tap(kb.KEY.A, kb.MODIFY.LEFT_GUI | kb.MODIFY.SHIFT);
      // Now toggle LED status
      swap();
  }
  
  // keep track of the LED status on button pushes
  var LED_toggle = 1;
  
  function swap() {
    // determine to turn RED LED on/off
    switch(LED_toggle) {
      case 1:
        LED1.write(1);
        break;
      case 2:
        LED1.write(0);
        break;
    }
    // determine the LED status on/off
    LED_toggle = Math.wrap(LED_toggle, 2) + 1;
  }
  
  // trigger btnPressed whenever the button is pressed
  setWatch(btnPressed, BTN, {edge:"rising",repeat:true,debounce:50});
  

  Many Thanks
  Neil

  Thank you Gordon for your response,

  Apologies JS is relatively new to me, but your tip on just using MODIFY was just what was needed, once i figured out how to concatenate the keys it worked liked a charm for me.

  I have one remaining issue in that my iPad now warns me in bluetooth settings, when the Puck is connected to it, I'm guess its not a recognised bluetooth vendor ID or something?

  Error on iPad
  Using puck.js may affect Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.

  Very pleased with the Puck.js have many more ideas for it!

  Many thanks
  Neil

  Thanks Robin appreciate the links I'll take a look at these, this evening I have updated the module "ble_hid­_keyboard.js" locally to add the keys i need but my Web IDE on Mac doesn't seem to have projects under settings for me to load local modules!

  Thanks again for your help

  Hi there,

  I bought a puck the other day to learn about JS, and thought my first project would be to try and make a remote mute button to use with Zoom conferencing on my ipad, I found that Zoom lets you use a keyboard shortcut "command + shift + A" so as it's an apple device it requires the command key which is equal to the Windows button on a PC.

  In the module ble_hid_keyboard.js i can see no reference to the Windows key so was wondering how I would go about coding this, assume the module would need to support this?

  Appreciate any ideas

  Many Thanks
  Neil
