hotkeys

So I have an arduino that is acting as a usb keyboard sending real keyboard signals, no virtual signals, to OBS and the key signals that it sends to OBS for hotkey purposes works when OBS is the focused or not focused window at first but then stops working for the not focused case after 10-20...

I'm trying to use f13-24 keys as hotkeys for scene switching, and I can't seem to get it to work. The only keys that register are f13 and f15 which show as "OBS_KEY_F13" and "OBS_KEY_F15" respectively in the hotkey box. None of the rest of the f14-24 keys can be assigned however. There is no...

It'd be nice if there could be hotkeys on filters as there are on sources. The use case for this is I often switch from a direct source with no delay, like a game emulator, to an actual console thru a capture card that has quite a delay. So, with the delay, I have to add a delay filter to many...

I want to use hotkeys, but I hate that I always type something when I use them. I wonder if there is an option so only OBS receives the key press. For example when I have a hotkey on the "a" key and I press it, I want OBS to do whatever the hotkey should do, but I don't want to actually type "a"...

So I am running a second keyboard with LuaMacros. I set it up and mapped them into OBS to control it but they have now stopped working when I am not tabbed into OBS (they worked when I first did it over 6 hours ago before I restarted my PC). Discord runs the macros fine, and if I map them to my...

Hello, I've been searching for literally hours and the only thing even slightly related I can find is that people are having issues with their transitions being delayed, THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY ISSUE, now that I've cleared that up, let me tell you what I'm trying to do. The idea is...

Hi there! I'm helping set up a Stream Display for a friend. He's looking for something similar to any variety of Gamepad Display, only he wants it to be a character he draws for a web comic he runs. Assets aren't an issue as he's drawing them himself. But I'd like to know if there's a way to...

I have a Corsair k95 with 18 G keys (macro keys), and figured i'd use them as a replacement for a streamdeck. This worked on Streamlabs OBS, but I recently switched to regular OBS for performance reasons. Now, the macro keys work fine as long as I am looking at OBS, but when I switch to...

Hey guys, I'm having a hell of a time getting the replay function to work. I set OBS up to start the replay buffer when I start streaming, set up a duration (20s), set up a hot key. I managed to save about 3 videos this way. However, suddenly OBS won't save anything from my replay buffer and I'm...

Hey, can anyone help me? Why does my hotkey settings page look like this? I find no tolly-thing to expand it and it makes it hard to see any of my hotkey settings, making it difficult to organize them. Changing themes doesn't do anything and I re-installed OBS, but don't think I un-installed...

Hey there! I have my macro keys configured to control my steam via key combos as streamdeck does not support win7 - OBS is configured to show a confirmation both when starting and stopping the stream, but when using the hotkeys, no confirmations are displayed. This has caused me to accidentally...

It's possible to add a function that disables keyboard hotkeys when obs is not in focus? i won't tha it hears me pressing keys while using other programs

Hello everyone, I introduce myself, I am Claudio, Italian User of OBS. I find myself in this forum to ask you a little problem that afflicts me. I use OBS to do live discussion via Skype with other users and discuss Star Trek. The question I wanted to ask you is the following: Since I have...

I use hotkeys in OBS for one-handed operation while operating another machine with a few touchscreens. The hotkeys work great while I'm in OBS, and they let me switch scenes and do other things very quickly. The problem is, since they are designed to be fast (basically turning my keyboard into a...

So I was testing some things around with OBS and I found that I can't use the assigned hotkeys in OBS unless OBS is in the foreground when it should work even while it's in the background and I hit my assigned hotkeys. I have my hotkeys assigned to Alt+NumPad keys, ie; Alt+Num 1 to Stop/Start...

Hey guys, I’m new to the forum, well OBS in general. I have this issue that is driving me crazy!! I’m streaming live (to twitch) and I have OBS open on my screen. I’m playing on my iPad by the way that’s why I keep OBS open on macbook Pro. Sometimes I want to open up a browsers or respond to...

OS: macOS Sierra 10.12.6 I'm running a livestream for my church and we'd like to be able to switch from the live camera feed to the sermon slides and then back to the live feed. What I've done is set up two scenes. One scene, "Live," has just the camera feed and our church graphic in the...

Hey, I'm trying to use the Pynput library to simulate keypresses to activate a scene transition. When I use the key manually, it works correctly, but when I trigger the script, I will see the result of the simulated keypress, but the transition remains untriggered. A better understanding of the...

I've looked online for a way to change the desktop audio volume with a keyboard shortcut only to find I could not reply with an answer. This is for anyone needing to know a work around to doing so. Below is a list of steps as an example. Add a source, "Audio Output Capture" (This will be the...

Hi there I've tried OBS on and off but I can never get it to work right. Today I thought to try again. I tried capturing my desktop. I went to the Hotkeys sections to select a start and stop key, but it seems no matter what I choose as the start and stop keys, nothing works. The only way I can...
