Shortcut to set _specific_ custom profiles

[MrThePlague]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It would be great to have the capability of setting hot keys to set specific profiles.

Use case: I would like to be able to configure Playnite to use a hotkey when a game launches in order to set a specific profile for a game. E.g.: set the 7W profile when XPlay is launched. Set the 12W profile when Cocoon is launched.

Describe the solution you'd like
Without a more complicated solution, simply the ability to map a specific hot key to each profile would probably do the trick.

Describe alternatives you've considered

@MrThePlague hello, did you know that you can already cycle between profiles (even custom) forwards and backwards ?

Fn + F5 / Fn + Shift + F5 - Toggle Performance Modes forwards / backwards
Ctrl + Shift + F5 / Ctrl + Shift + Alt + F5 - Toggle Performance Modes forwards / backwards

[MrThePlague]

Yes, absolutely, thank you.

What would be awesome though would be to be able to key bind specific profiles.

The Playnite launcher allows you to run a script when launching a game, so I'd like to be able to set a specific per game by executing the keybind, e.g.: launch XPlay -> set 7W profile. Launch Cocoon -> set 12W profile, etc.

@MrThePlague try this build

I have reserved 5 hotkeys for mode switches

Ctrl + Shift + Alt + F16 - Silent
Ctrl + Shift + Alt + F17 - Balanced
Ctrl + Shift + Alt + F18 - Turbo
Ctrl + Shift + Alt + F19 - Custom 1 (if exists)
Ctrl + Shift + Alt + F20 - Custom 2 (if exists)

@MrThePlague did you had a chance to check the build ?

[MrThePlague]

Yes, just tested it and it looks good! Thank you! Really appreciate the work you put into this tool.

I'm trying to use 0x11 0x10 0x12 0x82 = Ctrl + Shift + Alt + F19 in my M16 but it doesn't work.
When using a software to detect keyboard and trying other keys besides F19/0x82 (Ctrl + Shift + Alt + X), the macro custom action doesn't seem to run.
0x11 0x10 0x12 registers Ctrl + Shift + Alt, 0x11 0x10 0x12 0x82/X doesn't register any key.

@ggjiza you mix 2 separate things.

Those are external hotkeys (i.e. something that you are supposed to emit from other app or game-launcher as issue starter requested).

You are talking about binding macro keys (M1-M4) to emit some key-combos :) they support only 3 keys simultaneously atm

[ggjiza]

I see, thank you for the clarification.
So if the macro binding supports 4 keys it should do what I expected.
That wouldn't be a bad feature to have in the next update :)

@ggjiza what are you trying to achieve? Bind M-key to specific profile ?

[ggjiza]

Yes, practically a faster way to reach a specific profile without having to toggle through them all.

Is there a way to disable the second set of bindings?

"Ctrl + Shift + F5 / Ctrl + Shift + Alt + F5 - Toggle Performance Modes forwards / backwards"

I have an fn key for the first set of bindings to toggle performance modes forwards / backwards but use the second set of key combination ctrl + shift + f1-12 for applications.

[seerge]

@MrB0x yes, there is a way
