Bug Report Hotkeys Reset Bug / Any Workaround?

[Tudor Stefan Scriminti]

Hi there, I'm here to report a bug and ask for a solution to this until it gets fixed, possibly.

Let's say that we have the same entity 7 times in a scene. For example, I have my webcam, then my webcam bigger than that, then my webcam even bigger. To switch between these, I use hotkeys, hide/unhide, obv dif hotkeys for every separate entity of the same object.

Now, let's say I show large webcam with ctrl+d and smaller with ctrl+f and much smaller with ctrl+g.

When I restart OBS, in the hotkey settings, the same entities will have the same hotkeys, every entity will have for example ctrl+d. This leaves me to enter all the hotkeys every time I restart OBS.

I have multiple entities of Display Capture in the same scene which I transform crop to display only some regions of the screen. I have assigned different hotkeys to all these. When I restart OBS, the hotkeys for all these instantiated objects are the same.

Thoughts / workaround ?

Thank you

The issue has been studied an replicated on two PCs right now.

Do I do for example 6 separate display captures if this is possible? How taxing is this on CPU/GPU?

Build standalone scenes and switch between scenes instead.

This bug is similar to:
OBS Studio Not Saving Settings
Latest version not saving hotkeys after restart

I had that previously but now I need to have all of them in one scene.
Or do you suggest make separate scenes with the display capture and add them all and switch scenes inside the main scene?

The only disadvantage I see that if you need cut transition to display the source itself and other type of transition to switch between the other scenes. This possible only via Quick Transitions in Studio Mode or by Transition Override. The last one will be introduced in the next build of the OBS Studio (upper than v20.1.3).
