Lazarus IDE Do Action while pressing a key

Question

I've wanted to know if i can link a special key (for example the "b" key) to a specific action?

For example when i press the button b that the software closes. Is this possible, if yes how do you do so?

Greetings

This is easy to do.

• Create a new forms application.

• Place a TButton on the form.

• Set the button's caption to '&b'.

• On the Events tab in the Object Inspector, click in the OnClick event and enter this code

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  Close;
end;

• Compile and run the program.

• Press the 'b' key and the form will close and the program will stop.
