  • Problems with Key-combos and Modifiers

    Hi!

    I am using TouchOSC on my iPad.

    Hitting a button on it triggers Oscualtor to output the key-combo Option/Command/Z.

    I then have Keyboard Maestro receiving that as a hot-key trigger to trigger a Keyboard Maestro macro.

    The problem is that Keyboard Maestro is not responding?

    I think that Keyboard Maestro is expecting the Option/Command modifiers to be held down and THEN the key Z typed, but it is receiving all three (the two modifiers and the Z key) at the same instant and Keyboard Maestro is not reacting to that hot-key trigger for that reason.

    Is there an easy way to deal with this?

    Is there a way for Oscualtor to output out the modifiers first and then the keystroke Z?

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    You could try to select the message that triggers the event, and duplicate it two times in order to have 3 slots for Keycode events.
    The first one gets configured with Keycode 55 (Command).
    The second with Keycode 58 (Option).
    And the last with Keycode 6 (Z).

    With this, you are truly emulating a keyboard, but note that it only works when your application is frontmost.
    I tested it with Command-H to perform the Hide Application command.


    Best,
    Camille
