      I would like to be able to receive a trigger for a keyboard command like Cmd+alt+ x. It may already be possible, but I haven't found out how. If this is not currently possible I would like to add it to the request list if not already on it.

      thanks

        I could be wrong, but I do not think it is currently possible because the Keyboard Watcher is set to look for any type-able character (characters have ASCII values). I set a Keyboard Watcher to respond to the full ASCII range of 0-65535 and didn't get anything when I pressed Shift, Control, Alt/Option, nor Command. I think that Shift down and Shift up have ASCII values (so maybe there's code to make the Keyboard Watcher ignore those), but I looks like there's not an ASCII value for Control, Alt/Option, nor Command.

        I did manage to come up with a User Actor that allows you to use any three ASCII character keys to trigger something only when all three are held down.

          I have also tried everything, including the number I got with the app key codes. Nothing works.
          Thanks for the User Actor but it doesn't solve my problem. I want to start a blinking button when I use alt+Cmd+r to start/stop recording with Syphon Recorder. So far I have it with Capture Stage to movie and an Audio Recoder actor from MeldaProduction. But this actor unreliable and has twice only produced noise halfway through.
          thanks a lot

            If I have time I’ll try to see if I can make a temporary solution for you using either AppleScript or Python.

            Best wishes,

              it's really very nice but save your time for more important tasks. I have a solution with Osculator.

              best, Jean-François
