What it does

The Key Combo command automates a shortcut by sequencing Hold / Press / Release steps. This lets you build any shortcut such as Ctrl+C, Ctrl+Shift+Esc, or Alt+Tab.

When to use it

Copy/paste with Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V.
Select all with Ctrl+A.
Switch windows with Alt+Tab.
Any shortcut your app supports.

Configuration steps

Add a Keyboard › Key Combo command.
Build the sequence: e.g. Hold Ctrl → Press C → Release Ctrl for Ctrl+C.
(Optional) adjust the interval between steps.
Save.

Every option explained

Step sequence

A list of steps, each is Hold, Press, or Release of a key. Held modifiers (Ctrl/Shift/Alt) must be released after.

Interval

Wait time between combo steps. Some apps need a longer pause to register keys.

Real example

Example: select all then copy (Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C)

Key Combo: Hold Ctrl → Press A → Release Ctrl.
Key Combo: Hold Ctrl → Press C → Release Ctrl.
The content is now in the Clipboard for later use.

Tips & common mistakes

Standard pattern for a shortcut: Hold the modifier → Press the letter → Release the modifier.

Always release held modifiers (Ctrl/Shift/Alt) at the end to avoid stuck keys.
