Trigger - Hardware Key Event

The trigger Hardware Key Event is executed when the specified key is pressed/released. Most devices usually only provide hardware keys for volume up and volume down. The power key can usually not be intercepted.

Examples:

Scroll down in a browser window when the volume down key is pressed.

Actions

Whether down, up or both actions should execute the trigger.

Block event (blocks down and up actions)
