  You can use the lowercase() expression to convert your string to lowercase, then compare to a lowercase version.

  "a" Equal lowercase("A") will be true

  You can't make something a trigger - it either is or it isn't. https://www.scirra.com/manual/75/how-events-work

  This is overkill, but shows the process.

  You can't add objects. You could add the UID, and "pick by UID" later when needed.

  You should do the first three tutorials from here (at least): https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/top

  #3 explains the Pin behaviour.

  A boolean is just a hidden way of storing 0 or 1. You can save it, but you can't read it back in anyway, as C2 wants to set a boolean explicitly through a drop-down. You can save it directly, but to load it back you need to compare it to 1 and set the boolean again with True 'Else' False.

  You need to try at least the first tutorial to understand the basics.

  You can use the "System:Trigger once while true" action. This is separate from the "green arrow".

  If your keys really are numbers, you can just use the "For 1 to 5" event and use Dictionary.Get("loopindex"&loopindex). If not, you'll just have to track the range manually and only perform the Action when appropriate.

  The System loopindex and Stop action have nothing to do with the Dictionary object.

  Edit: you updated as I was writing. "KeyIndex" from 1 to 5 is all you need here.

  If you disable the Wait 0.02 , is that better?
