Probably a Dumb Combo Question

[The Grim Beaker]

Hi

Apologies if this is a dumb post & question, but I feel like I've been banging my head against a brick wall all day trying to get a combo to work....

I'm trying to build a toggle combo that when I click a button on my Azeron Cyborg it effectively presses & holds LCtrl & LShift. When I want to release it, I just click the same key again (hence the toggle).

This is to produce a low crouch position in the game. LCtrl is a basic crouch, and then applying LShift results in the low crouch status.

I recorded the combo and it came out like this;



Which is what I would've thought was all I needed, once I'd set it to toggle, for it to work. But when it is set, in game nothing happens.

If I try to enter the combo using the onscreen keyboard in the combo screen then I automatically get key release commands along with the desired key presses;



This produces a result, but effectively has me bobbing up and down, as the command repeats itself until it is toggled off. Which was expected with break and release commands. Removing the release commands always removes the press commands at the same time.

I know there is a function that would work with my commands from the first image, Hold Until Release, but that means I have to hold the key down which isn't really what I had in mind.

While trying to solve this, I've tried adding in breaks between the key down commands from image 1, but that doesn't make a difference (nor does it seem like that is needed based on the results using the commands from image 2).

To further add to my frustrations, I could've sworn that I had this working the other day while trying to sort the config for most of the keys after work. This was before updating to 9.0.0.9756 today.

Either I messed up when copying the command from one key to another and lost it, or I'm misremembering things and it was never working.

Is there something I'm doing wrong to just get the combo toggle working? Or am I trying to make reWASD do something it can't do?

If any one could offer some assistance it would be much appreciated.

Hi!

After testing your request, I believe it’s currently not possible in reWASD to use the Toggle feature for multiple keys (e.g., L Ctrl and L Shift) assigned to a single button. This is a system limitation, as reWASD does not allow toggling for combos or multiple simultaneous key presses.

Perhaps someone in the community may propose an alternative solution that we haven't considered yet.

Oh really? That's surprising to read, because in my attempts to get this to work, I tried this as a combo and set it to toggle;





And it works as expected, trigged with a single button on the Cyborg and the game registering the commands and crouching & standing over and over again until it is toggled off with the same button.

Unfortunately this isn't the action that I'm trying to achieve, but it seems like that would at least indicate that there is some combo toggle functionality with multiple keys via single button press?

I can't stop thinking I managed to get a command working as I needed before updating to 9.0.0.9756, but I must have screwed it when copying & pasting the commands while repositioning the actions across buttons.

Maybe my only solution is to the above combo command and increase the time pause time to a really high value and hope that doesn't cause me to suddenly standup at an awkward point....

Hi. Unfortunately, achieving the desired effect by holding down two keys (without releasing them) is not possible within a single button.

Ah well, my work around seems to be doing the trick so that will have to do.

Thanks Kapas & strokel
