Macro Buttons Shortcut Key Bug

Post by gtimbo »

I'm having an issue with shortcut keys in Macro Buttons. I have two macros to change volume up/down (as my keyboard's volume keys don't work), with one using the shortcut CTRL + Numpad Sub and the other using CTRL + Numpad Add (both set as Exclusive Keys).

I assumed that these macros would only fire when using CTRL by itself (and the numpad key, of course), but they also seem to fire with any other combination of meta keys that include CTRL (i.e. CTRL + SHIFT, CTRL + ALT, CTRL + ALT + SHIFT). This means that other applications are unable to use those other shortcuts. For example, I cannot use CTRL + SHIFT + Numpad Sub in my IDE application as it instead triggers the Voicemeeter macro.

It would be great if Macro Buttons could be updated to properly restrict the shortcuts that it registers.

yes, the shortcut will work if your selected keys are pushed (CTRL + ADD) , we do not check the state of other keys (SHIFT, ALT...).
I note your request.
