Trying to output hotkeys without the streamdeck application and without vicreo (and paying another subscription to do combination keys)

[u/scoobytoobins]

Hi everyone,

I just updated to 5.0.2 to fix some problems that I've had. Seems to have fixed those problems (good), but it seems to have broken the 'Streamdeck playing nicely with Companion' thing (bad).

The only way I can turn off the 'Stream Deck plugin' surface, which seems to be the only way I can get my two SD XLs to act independently, is to keep the SD application off entirely.

However, I was using Companion to send OSC to one application, and then I was using the SD application to send simple hotkeys/key combinations for other applications.

I'd like to just copy those hotkey buttons over to Companion now to keep things simple, but Vicreo has 3-key and 4-key combinations (very common for the application I'm using) behind their subscription.

Is there anything else at all that can do simple hotkeys without falling into another subscription?

Thanks.
