✅ | Adding a global key hover sound

[lyric ember]

Is it possible to globally add hover and release sounds to all keys? If not, will this be possible in the future?

Hi! Please first select which type of question you want to ask:

• "Normal Question" is enough for most questions. If you are unsure, you should choose this mode. It provides quick and accurate answers to your questions and problems.
• "Complex Task" is for very complex questions and multi-step tasks. For example, questions involving complex action script, requirement, or placeholder logic. Normal users will almost never need this. Getting answers takes much longer here.

Short answer: not as a built-in global feature, at least not in the docs 🎧

What the docs do mention:

• Global Customizations include a Custom Button/Slider Click Sound
• Button templates can share sounds like hover/click for buttons/sliders
• Listeners like On Keyboard Key Pressed / On Keyboard Key Released can run actions such as Play Audio

So:

• If you mean menu buttons/sliders: use a template button if you want shared hover/click sounds.
• If you mean actual keyboard keys: there’s no documented “global hover sound” system for all keys. You’d need a listener-based setup, and that still wouldn’t be true hover behavior.

About the future: I can’t confirm any future plans from the documentation, so I don’t want to guess 🚫

If you want, I can show you the best doc-based workaround for:

• all buttons, or
• keyboard press/release sounds 🙂

I need all buttons to play a sound I specify when hovering over them and lifting them away

Yes, the closest documented way is to use a custom Button template and apply it to Buttons 🎛️🔊

What the docs say:

• A custom button can be used as a template for other buttons
• Template sharing can affect vanilla buttons and custom buttons
• Templates can be set to share with Buttons
• You can configure hover sounds and click sounds on the template

What the docs do not say:

• There is no documented global setting for “hover + release/unhover sounds on every button”
• Global Customizations only mention a custom button/slider click sound, not hover/unhover sounds

So the practical answer is:

1. Create a custom Button template
2. Set it to Share With: Buttons
3. Set the sounds you want on that template
4. Let it apply to the rest of your buttons

If that does not propagate hover/unhover sounds in your setup, then there is no other documented built-in global method for it 😕
And I can’t confirm future plans from the docs, so I don’t want to guess.

If you want, I can give you the exact template setup steps next 🙂
