Hey Rob, really loving your software, don't know what I would do without it!

This is a bit of a niche problem I'm trying to figure out.

I recently bought a Microsoft Surface Touch Tablet, and I'm experimenting with S+ on it.

Here's the two threads that are the most relevant on the forum:

Make hotkeys work only in specific programs
App Specific Shortcuts

Basically, I'm trying to create specific hotkeys for difference applications with the Surface Pen.

The Surface Pen has an erase button with three Hotkeys: WIN + F18, F19, F20 (Single press, double press, and hold).

Here's an example script for WIN + F19 (which isn't working):

Code:
if(sp.ForegroundWindow().Title.indexOf("- Obsidian") > -1) {
    sp.SendModifiedVKeys([vk.LCONTROL], [vk.VK_E]);
}


Here's another example:

Code:
if(sp.ForegroundWindow().ExecutableName == "Obsidian.exe") {
    sp.SendModifiedVKeys([vk.LCONTROL], [vk.VK_E]);
} else {
    // Otherwise send F1 for any other app
    sp.SendVKey(vk.F1);
}


Any ideas on what could be going on? The whole Surface Pen setup is a little clumsy, so it's possible this is a Microsoft problem.

Thanks!
Rob

Are you able to confirm whether S+ is seeing the hotkey being pressed at all?

e.g. is you just put this as the script and see if it shows up in the S+ Console > User tab?
Code:
StrokesPlus.Console.Log("pressed");

Okay just tried it, doesn't register at all. I might stick to AHK for this one, that's how I've gotten it to work so far.

Thanks for your help Rob.
