getting Shift + PrintScreen and back_tab to work

[Klein Lemmy]

dear all,

 I have a problem with configuring my quad stick for a windows  keyboard. For the functions that I want to configure (Shift + PrintScreen and back_tab to work) I currently use

kb_left_shift
normal
mp_left_puff
kb_tab
normal
mp_left_puff

and

kb_printscreen
normal
mp_left_sip_soft
kb_left_shift
normal
mp_left_sip_soft

but it seems like that shift is totally ignored. Can someone please  tell me why and how to fix this.

Thank you in advance.

 Best regards,

 Tjalf

I'd try using delay_on for the tab and printscreen outputs.

Actually that may not work for the soft sips but you can try it.

Then share a link to your spreadsheet if you can't get it. It'll be a little easier to help you.

Try delay_on 10 instead of normal for the tab or printscreen key to allow the shift, alt, ctrl, or windows key to be detected first.  Those keys are called "modifier" keys and they should go a little before the main key.

When using the quadstick with remote desktop control programs, it is really important to do it that way.  You can often get away with simultaneous presses with local only uses.
