Hotkey ID

[JonaChurch]

Hello, I am not sure it would be the thing for you to give me this very basic advice, But this is my question: I got companion running on OBS and want to use the Trigger Hotkey by ID function I do not understand everything on the Bitfocus website They say I need to enter the value of the Hotkey, but I don't know what I have exactly to enter. This is an example lyric_clear_hotkey={\n "bindings": [\n {\n "alt": true,\n "key": "OBS_KEY_U"\n }\n ]\n}

So what exactly do I have to enter in the companion menu OBS_KEY_U is not enough. I would really appreciate your effort answering this simple question. Thank you best regards

Here's the text from under the help info under the module, hopefully this example is helpful:

This file should have a section labeled [Hotkeys]. Under that section, the left most text up until the equals sign is the Hotkey ID. For example, a Hotkey ID might look like: OBSBasic.StartRecording

If Hotkey IDs are giving you issues, I would also recommend trying "Trigger hotkey by key" in the latest betas, it's slightly simpler to use.

thank you for you effort Please consider I am not familiar with working on this level of computer languag (its like Chinese language to me), so if someone says „take the value and put it into companion“ I do not know which characters are value, which are not.

I think I just need one example to see then I am good to go

So this is the Hotkey in OBS

SHIFT SPACE

This is the line in the basic.ini

OBSBasic.TogglePreviewProgram={\n "bindings": [\n {\n "key": "OBS_KEY_SPACE",\n "shift": true\n }\n ]\n}

What exactly is going into companion, which characters? OBS_KEY_SPACE is incomplete.

Sorry for bothering you Thank you very much Carolina

The new Trigger hotkey by key is very nice! Very comfortable! I just tried it.

Is the latest beta reliable enough to work with?

No worries, I'm here to help.

So in that example, what you would enter into companion is:

OBSBasic.TogglePreviewProgram

Let me know if that works!

Glad you are liking the Trigger by key feature. I would recommend testing the betas for a while before using them.

great, got it. Thank you so much!!

I thought I had to find some necessary stuff from the other characters to put into companion like some of shift and true and so, didn’t know it would be so easy

So I can now go back to the „old“ stable release and do all my hotkey buttons

Thank you!! Carolina
