Question / Help Using a specific key as a PTT hotkey.

Hey, i've had this issue for some time now. I've been trying to use TAB key to activate PTT but it simply doesn't work in OBS Studio. In OBS Classic it was possible setting a config file to read the TAB key (since it wasn't possible to set it through options, just like in Studio) as a PTT key. I've tried doing the same in OBS Studio and setting "OBS_HOTKEY(OBS_KEY_TAB)" simply doesn't work. After setting the hotkey in the config file, the options say it's set to use a TAB key, but pushing it doesn't activate the mic. That's not a problem with other keys. (i haven't tested other special characters, but looking online it seemed like people have this problem with keys like "<" and ">" as well)

So here's the question. Is there any workaround available to make TAB work as a PTT hotkey, or do i simply have to use old and unsupported OBS Classic, which lets me use any key i want as a PTT hotkey? I could theoretically use anothey key, but i've been using TAB for years already and it's just the most comfortable that way.
