Just ramped up to version 7 Pro Full (and thanks for the timely answer Support Team - it works now), and having an issue assigning a keyboard shortcut. Let me explain. In my prior version I had the following assigned to keyboard letter N:
<sc key="N" action="auto_crossfade" chan="active" />
<sc key="N" action="play" chan="active" />
<sc key="N" action="select" chan="active" />
Thus by pressing the letter N twice, I crossfaded from the deck playing (using the auto crossfade timing defined in the config), selected the other deck and played the song on the other (now active deck). This sped up my show immensely and was just easy (yep, I'm lazy).
So the question becomes - how do I accomplish the same thing using the new macro language? Or can I copy the statements above to a config file somewhere in VDJ 7? Or am I screwed?
Thanks,

Glad the instructions worked.
Whereas before you added multiple commands to perform macros, you can now simply join commands with an &.

Could you give me an example for the situation I described? I've tried a few things and the shortcut is not working. Thanks for all your hard work. LOVE the new version.
Thanks

Well the verbs are actually pretty much the same:
auto_crossfade (with an optional time)
play
select is a bit different. I can't remember now what v5 does, but if it toggles the selected deck then you can accomplish this on v6 with
You can join commands like so:
If you detail the exact scenario and results you want then myself or someone will script it for you :)

Got the crossfade working using two keys, np. Now gotta another question (I'll post as another topic)
Thanks,

PS - Just fixed it so it runs on ONE key! Kewl!
