    Global Hotkeys for Other Programs don't Work when OBS is Focused

    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...

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 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...
