Question / Help OBS noob with a question (so be gentle..)

[Paul van der Heu]

Hey guys, starting with OBS and Twitch streaming and am looking for a simpler way to change text. I now have three text items in a text box, but would like to be able to edit all three from one place instead of having to edit the one by one. Is that possible?

I searched for a plugin but don't think there is one, there is some options using a text file or webpage, but these seem to only update at set intervals, I would just like to be able to type a new text and have it appear in the correct place when I hit return..

The existing text option in scenes works, but is a bit cumbersome when you (frequently) edit two or three lines.

Any help appreciated! and thanks!

Text file pointed layers update instantly, as soon as the file on disk changes. Just keep a Notepad open, and hit CTRL+S (save) after you edit the line.
I believe some text editors also allow you to update the auto-save period, potentially down to one second or less. Though some of them may save to a temp-file instead of the one saved to disk. Easiest to just CTRL+S.
