How to use multiple buttons on SC for action

[Demorto]

How i can put on LG + RG + Select Keyboard? Or if hold LG + RG + Y left touchbar use round menu?

There are far simpler shortcuts you can use than to hold 3 buttons to accomplish sething. Take a look at action sets and action layers.

Vepar, LG + RG + Select for Keyboard need, because ingame chat open by ctrl (LG) + shift (RG) + F6 (select). If i use Steam Button + Select (default steam button config) and close keyboard steam not switch config back to game config.

Why don't you just bind multiple keys to one button and save yourself the trouble? When you're in config mode, select the button you want them on, RG for example, then at the keyboard part, look what shortcut it is to enable multi key, i think it's Y. Press it, then just select which keys you need, Ctrl+Shift+F6, and that 3 button combo will be bound to 1 button.

And if the game doesn't recognize this, it happens because this sends all the commands simultaniously, then use activators to program hold and delay between inputs. But you probably won't have to do that, the multi button should work.

And if the keyboard is crashing your overlay or something, opt into steam beta, or if you're in beta, opt out, that sound like a bug. Because if the config is not switching back to game config, this means the overlay no longer works and SC switched to desktop config instead.

In game i use all most binds. All buttons in use. Grips is modifier. And all buttons have RG, LG, RG+LG binds, one empty binds is RG+LG+Select.

I don't think you understand what i mean. I'm not telling you specifically to use RG or whatever.
Use whatever button makes most sense, you can even use an existing button and add a long press activator to activate a second binding.

I'm telling you to - if you need to use a multi button shortcut in game - then use the multi button feature in the configurator, just enable it, select what keyboard binding combination you need, then save it to a button. If all buttons are already in use, then make a long press activator so that combination will activate when you hold a button with an existing binding on it.

Trust me, you literally cannot have all the buttons in use, you can bind 12 or more bindings on only 4 ABXY buttons, not to mention action layers and action sets so i doubt you don't have room for more.

Only one button configuration free LG + RG + Select, all other, NONE\LG\RG\LT+RG + XYAB DPADS LT RT LB TB START SELECT use in game, only on free. Where i found free button for one combination, i dont know. Now i make layer with select = keyboard, and add trigger button for change layer to LG to RG and RG to LG, but this is not good.

Ok here, step by step:

1. Choose a button you want. (let's say for example the "X" Button)
2. A keyboard with buttons opens.
3. At the keyboard screen press the < (select button) - show activators
4. Press "add activator" - this will add a second binding to your "X" button, in addition to what is already bout do "X"
5. Under activation type select "long press"
6. In the box below under "binding" press A to enter the keyboard screen again.
7. Press "Y" to toggle multi-button mode
8. Select the buttons you want, ctrl+shift+F6 i presume


Congrats, now you added an activator to your existing button. You can press "X" once for whatever you use X for, or you can hold "X" to activate the second binding.

You can also add double press for yet another binding, so you can have 3 or more bindings on 1 button. And this works for most buttons.

X button not free. I have only RG + LG + Select free combination. I need make show keyboard by pressing RG + LG + Select. Not X, Not Select. All other gamepad button in use. ctrl+shift+f6 not the main task, i need oopen keyboard on RG+LG+Select. What will happen with this is not so important.
