Hold Buttons

[Hipshot]

Happy New Year gang!!
After a long absence from using TB (tech probs) I have begun reworking my profile for Open Falcon.
Not a huge deal as most of what I already have works with no adjustment.
However, I am stumper on a hold button requirement,
In Open Falcon, if you want to see your wing in the HSD you must do a coupla things:
First you must select contenious mode (osb6) via the fire control radar.
Then you must use the keyboard to refresh the HSD.
THe command for this is :
Ctrl down and hold then O (not zero) down for 2 seconds.
release O
release Ctrl
I have tried several combonations using macro_select = no joy
In the Tool KIt I have selected TYPE as HOLD
Checked Expires after 3 seconds.
Here is the last attempt,
macro_select = ^, KEYDOWN
macro_select = O, KEYDOWN
macro_deselect = O, KEYUP
macro_deselect = ^, KEYUP
Could someone point me in the right direction please?
Thanks Ya'll

Have you tried the Predefined keys? They are the best to use by default.

So you are trying to press:
Control & O, both held down for 2-3 seconds?

Are you doing this in network mode, or local? There is a Hold button bug I found recently in Network mode. It happens when you use both macro_select and macro_deselect. The deselect doesn't get sent. But it looks like you are using both. But here is the thread.

Try this for predefined macros:

macro_select = predef:CONTROL, KEYDOWN
macro_select = predef:O, KEYDOWN
macro_deselect = predef:O, KEYUP
macro_deselect = predef:CONTROL, KEYUP

That should hold the Ctrl-O keys down until the deselect macro is run.

Thanks WB,
I had tried using the predef method with no luck, but just on a hunch I copied the sequence that you suggested and what do you know...it works!
(Apparentley I had something wrong in my string)
Anyway......thanks again!!
