I'm having a bit of trouble making

Code: Select all

Send, ^{LShift down}!{F1}{LShift up}
Image

Work with VLC, i.e. making the above code work with a command, that would trigger a function within VLC (very short backwards jump). It works just fine when set to Ctrl + Alt + Left inside of VLC and inside of FK with:

Code: Select all

Send, {LControl down}!{Left}{LControl up}
However, not with the first command.

Things I’ve tried:
• Clearing up the command a bit ➔

Code: Select all

Send, ^!{LShift}{F1}
• Removing L from Shift ➔

Code: Select all

Send, ^!{Shift}{F1}
• Restarting VLC
• Testing the hotkey manually, which works just fine, i.e. pressing the keys manually on the keyboard

It's as though VLC doesn't recognize this particular command from FK, for some reason. Despite working just fine, manually

To simulate Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F1:

Type: Command

Code: Select all

Send, ^!+F1

Didn't consider that, thanks!

However it still seems to not work 😞
