Hi, on my Windows 11 PC I’m trying to map the Left Alt G combo to a simple mouse left click. What I get it’s alt left click instead of a simple click. Is it possible to have BMTP swallow the alt key?
Hi, sorry but Bome MIDI Translator Pro does not absorb incoming keystrokes. Your best bet is to look into AutoHotkey for something like that.

Thanks for your reply Steve.
Yes I have used autoHotkey in the past for the same purpose and it worked, it’s that I’m discovering so many uses for BMTP, different from the reason I bought it, that I thought I could use it for this.
Strangely enough, another translator that I’m using, and that I downloaded from this forum and modified with my preferred hotkey, when I first used it appeared to absorb incoming keystrokes.
In this translator I’m using F2 to simulate the mouse click and hold action, and when I used it in Cubase for the first time, I’ve noticed that the F2 function Key was no more received by Cubase, After restarting my PC and using it the second time, I discovered that the F2 key is passed to Cubase…
Hi, if the focused application does not use the hotkey, then it will ignore it so it is possible that unused hotkeys will indeed work, not because the original key is suppressed but because it is ignored. You might want to use F13-F24 which most applications stay away from but unfortunately many keyboards no longer have. For this reason I bought a programmable macro keyboard.

I tried it initially with Cubase that use F2, that’s the reason I thought it was swallowed. On the next attempt, I discovered that Cubase was again receiving F2, so I disabled it in the Cubase setup. Probably it was me hallucinating the first time instead of AI 
Perhaps another application was in focus that ignore the keystroke at the time.
