The shift key isn't working.

[Deejay85]

I'm trying to get the % sign to appear, but I can't get the shift key to work to save my life. The code I'm using so far is this:

[k(Shift,p), k(Numpad5,c), k(Shift,r)]

I've tried the other alternatives (RShift and ShiftRight), but that hasn't worked either. I've nearly got a long macro finished, I just need this last bit to function in order to put it into proper use. I do have one last question that is unrelated though...why is there no ability to add titles/descriptions or custom thumbnails to differentiate the keys being pressed like in the Windows version of Streamdeck?

You can customise each action's appearance by right clicking the action and clicking Edit.

@Terrorwolf01 can probably help better with the simulate input problem, but most likely it's related to the open issue about being unable to simulate uppercase letters and will be fixed soon enough when we bump the upstream library.

Thanks for the tip...I didn't think of that earlier because I was right clicking on the empty spaces, and I thought that pasting was all you could do for some weird reason. @_@

Also, going by what you said, do you mean that despite being a valid function, they don't really do anything right now? Did try to use t("%") but it only returned a 5...similar headache with "+" in that the only way to get it to work was to use k(Add,c) since using the prior function only returned a "=." I don't know if it's possible, but is there a way to make the shift function work with t("")? That may be one way to make things easier as far as uppercase and special characters go, though I imagine the actual nuts and bolts may make things harder.

You have % on the Numpad? Numpad5 is Numpad number 5 not normal 5.

[Deejay85]

Yeah...turns out 0-9 didn't want to work when I used k(uni('5')), so I tried to use one of the numpad keys instead. I'm guessing I'm going to have to use something else, but k(5,c) didn't work either, in fact I got an error message when I tried.

Okay...got it to work after about 20 minutes of trying. Turns out the following format is what's needed:[k(RightShift,p), k(D5,c), k(RightShift,r)] So instead of ShiftRight like normal it's RightShift, and after trying every combination possible with k(uni('')) and k(,c) I finally figured out the number keys by sheer luck. Way more hassle than what one should be expected to put into it, I just hope that what I went through is useful for someone else who is having the same problem I had. Either way thanks for the help...I really couldn't have done this without you. Now to finish the last tail end of my new macro, and it should be set to go. 😁

EDIT: So other than having to change a bunch of my previous commands to be compatible with the new input method being used, as well as realizing I'm going to have to manually spell out words now since the text option is no longer available (why?), I have a slightly bigger issue now. How do I slow things down? Turns out I need a brief pause of 200ms or so in order to get my macro to flow the way it needs to.
