Scene switching hotkeys - work as a toggle - how to turn it off?

[CodingAlbert]

Hello,

I am using hotkeys to change scenes. However, the hotkeys SOMETIMES work as a toggle!

I press the hotkey once, it changes to the correct scene. I press it again, it changes to the first or last scene (some scenes change to the last one, others to the first one, I do not understand the rules behind it).

Most confusing of all, sometimes, the toggle function stops and scene hotkeys DO behave predictably.

What is wrong?

Version:
OBS Studio 26.1.2
MacOS Big Sur 11.2.3

Solution:

Make sure you assign hotkey combination exclusive to OBS.
Make sure you assign hotkeys that are exclusive within OBS.

On MacOS (at the time of writing this) hotkeys only work when OBS app is active. Therefore, use Applescript to send the key strokes and always start with activate application "OBS".

Remember that each change to the Applescript must be followed by new deployment of the script in MacOS.
