That might be more difficult than you realize. The problem is that all keyboards report the same key the same way, and the operating system counts all of them as the same keyboard.

Different keyboard layouts are handled in the OS, not the keyboard, and the code that the keyboard sends has nothing to do with ASCII or Unicode or anything else. Each app receives the key code *after* the OS translation, which is also where all of the keyboards are combined.
There are workarounds, of course, as that video shows, but it's not as simple as just doubling the amount of available inputs just by adding a second keyboard.
Amazing plugin!
I've set up various scenes that automatically switch to another after a certain number of seconds, but I need to do one more thing:
When I display a chat comment on screen (using ChatNinja), I want the scene in which it's shown not to switch automatically. Once the comment is no longer displayed, I want the automatic switching to resume.
How can I do all this?

hi there, is it possible to change scene when i am looking at camera 1 or camera 2?
Add a second condition to each of the switching macros (assuming you have one per switch and not a big one that does everything).
And not <chat is shown>The problem then becomes, "How does it know when the chat is shown?" For that part, I don't know - it probably depends on some specifics that you haven't shared yet - but maybe you can figure it out from there.
You mean like facial recognition? Full face on each camera, and not the others, switches to that camera?
If it's in there at all, it would be in the Video condition. Several machine-vision-type things in there; maybe that's one of them.

As mentioned by AaronD the “Video” Condition type might be of use.
It will allow you to use face recognition on a video source.

But please note that this can be very resource intensive depending on the size of the area to check and the frequency of the checks.

You can add an action to Pause (and Unpause) the macro that is doing the scene switch switching.
I have a very weird use case, but wondering if you can tweak the "matches pattern" slightly. Hoping it would 'check' to see if that file it is trying to match has been updated or not. If the file is different than originally used, update and try to match it.
Use case
I play a game, and I would like to detect when that player dies (it says "XYZ was slain" on the screen in the same spot), but I would manually set their name in a text file, that text file then populates an obs layer with that text.
What I would like to do is take a screenshot of that text layer (this works fine as ive tested it), and then have the matches pattern view that file. The problem is, when you set the macro up, it accepts that file and will never refresh, even if the source file changes.
or
If the pattern matching could match the text inside a .text file, been trying to test this but I can't get it to work.

In Windows, where can I find the advanced scene switch log?

I am trying to set up 'reactive' scenes using Advance Scene Switcher following instructions from GaelLevel on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYF15CZXgUE).
I have a screenshot of my gameplay which I've selected in Advance Scene Switcher and when I hover over it the image shows a preview as it should. Still, when I click on the 'select area' button it shows on the popup menu "Screenshot is empty - is the source visible?".
I tried making a new screenshot but it creates a new .png file that is empty and sized zero bytes and has no image so clearly that isn't working either.
I thought maybe I needed to update the plugin so I did that and tested again but the same issue is occurring.
I've attached screenshots for reference and the log file below. Any help would be appreciated!

I will look into adding a check for modifications of the source file.
In OBS select Help > Log Files.
I replied to your GitHub discussion thread here:

This message is shown, if you have either selected a source which at the moment has no output at all (e.g. a Game Capture source with no selected game to capture), or if the source is not part of the current scene or hidden on the current scene, as in that case OBS might not render the source and thus no screenshot can be created.
Thank you very much, your program is the main driver of my stream - it's incredible how versatile it is, and honestly even more with how responsive you are to everyone on the forum.

A build with the requested functionality will be available here in a few minutes:

The video condition check now also check the modification date of the given input file.
If it does not match the file modification date when last loading the data, the file will be read out again.
Please back up your settings before installing this build, just in case something goes wrong.
It contains a bunch of other changes, which were not yet released and thus are not fully tested.
If you should run into issues please do let me know about them! :)

Didn't get a push or email notification, sorry. Weird. I have it disabled completely since it was not working and I spent an hour trying to figure it out.
This is the one that's broken (Disabled since it was broken and not functioning):
This one works:
It seems to recognize lobby 2 when I'm in game but doesn't switch:
