hotkeys

Hey all, I am having an issue that when OBS is focused none of my Global Hotkeys for other programs work. I originally thought it was only happening when using modifier keys (Ctrl, Shift, Alt) but after some testing, I realized that even having hotkeys set to a letter or number does not work. I...

Set up a death counter on your scene, which responds to configurable hotkeys to increment and decrement the counter (see OBS File > Settings > Hotkey, scroll down to Increment/Decrement Counter hotkeys). To set up the death counter, create a Text Source on your scene. If you want to play...

I'm running OBS on Ubunutu 22.04.1. When launching OBS through my user, hotkeys do not work unless OBS is the active window. I can fix this by launching it as root or via sudo, but any output is then owned by root, and therefore inaccessible without first changing the owner or permissions. Is...

Up until a month or so ago, I often had Image Slide Shows that I used in nearly every scene collection. Some I had the slides change automatically, but most I ran manually. For the manual ones, I used hotkeys "R" (Restart), "+"(next slide), and "-" (previous slide). (Note: the "+" and "-" keys...

Hello there. So basically I created short videos to be played when I hit a button. I set it up so that I have Num+9 to "hide" and "show" the source. Doing it this way enabled me to prevent all the videos I had set up this way from playing when I start OBS and was set up so that the buttons...

I am someone that uses the replay buffer a lot to capture highlights during a gameplay session. Often the highlights can be captured with a one minute replay buffer but other times that isn't enough.

I am a new user of OBS, and utilize Fedora 35 Plasma. In view of the continued push by the Linux Powers That Be to use Wayland, I try it out from time to time, and Wayland has made awesome improvements over the past year. However, it appears that only OBS works for screen casting/recording on...

Hello there OBS Community and Creators, my Idea for today is a function for saving and loading Hotkeys directly as a .txt file from the "Hotkey" Menu. This could be useful for sharing Hotkey lists with other users and fast rebuild them with new installations. Thank you for reading. kind...

Hello, I've used OBS a bit for about a year, but I've just now started to get more into it to speed up my process for producing training videos. I have set up 3 scenes that I need to keep switching between during my recordings. I set up Hotkeys for these scenes as well as for...

Hi all, I'm looking for a method to send keypresses to a browser dock when it's not focused. I have an HTTP interface in a browser dock which I would like to control with keyboard shortcuts even when the dock isn't focused. Ideally this would all be done from a Python script, but it looks like...

I set up two scenes. I need to switch back and forth between them, so I added a hot key for each. But then I realized when I was typing I accidently triggered them. So I tried to delete them. They are not showing in my Hotkeys anymore, but they continue to work. This is so annoying, I can't turn...

Hi, I've developed a dynamic lower third consisting of a control panel to be used as a dock and a "receiver page" to be used as a browser source / overlay. The two communicate via Broadcast Channels in javascript. I've also implemented basic hotkey functionalities in javascript in the control...

The more scripts, media, plugins, scenes, sources, etc I add to OBS, I tend to want to be able to manage multiple functions via HotKeys using my StreamDeck and/or other macro pads but the problem is when we have alot of hotkeys being assigned, its a burden to scroll and look carefully at what...

Hello everyone! I am trying to create from scratch a 4 key controller to use it as a scene controller using an arduino uno and some python scripting, but I am having a little problem. When pressing a button on my controller I translate that key press in 4 different "shortcuts" using the...

This script is similar to PowerPoint macro for controlling OBS. They both send hotkeys from PowerPoint to OBS. The difference here is the hotkey commands are stored in the section name. For Example a section name is set to 'hotkey=%{F5}" (Alt + F5). When a slide in this section is displayed...
