How to switch banks with keyboard

Hello

I have three Banks...

Bank-1
Bank-2
Bank-3

How do I tell MM to switch between them?

For example,
"onKeyPress-A" turn off Bank-2 and Bank-3 and make Bank-1 visible and play.
"onKeyPress-B" turn off Bank-1 and Bank-3 and make Bank-2 visible and play.
"onKeyPress-C" turn off Bank-1 and Bank-2 and make Bank-3 visible and play.

Seems like there should be an easy way to do this but I can't figure it out

Help?

Menu Edit / Edit Keyboard Controls, then click the bank selection combobox and press the corresponding key.
You can also use "Controls" dialog, press keyboard tab, press the "+" button, select "/cues/Bank-1/select", then you can configure which key (you can press the Learn button and press the key)

Thanks for the reply.

I was already able to select banks and toggle automation with keyboard commands.

The issue is that I can't figure out a way to map multiple controls to one button.

In my case, I have 5 que schedulers set to automation and 5 banks with different animated visuals.

Automated Cue Scheduler -1 (cue bank-1)...mapped to button A
Automated Cue Scheduler -2 (cue bank-2)...mapped to button S
Automated Cue Scheduler -3 (cue bank-3)...mapped to button D
Automated Cue Scheduler -4 (cue bank-4)...mapped to button F
Automated Cue Scheduler -5 (cue bank-5)...mapped to button G

I want each button to control the the playback of a specific Automated Cue Scheduler and bank, and simultaneously turn off all other Automated Cue Schedulers and banks. Right now, all I can do is toggle automation of the Automated Cue Scheduler on and off and I can select the bank but Automated Cue Schedulers just play over each other?
To summarize-
hit button A, start automation for cue scheduler 1 and select bank 1 and turn off automation for all other cue schedulers
hit button S start automation for cue scheduler 2 and select bank 2 and turn off automation for all other cue schedulers

same for buttons D, F, & G

Thoughts?
