    Hi,

    I want to hold Command and Shift (together) and release it at certain point

    I found this How to have SF hold down keyboard modifiers
    But need both at the same time

    Thanks!

        Hey @Reuven_Amiel, try this:

        sf.keyboard.modifiers({
    isCommand: true,
    isShift: true
});

        check out this video where Kitch explains how to find more properties:

        Hope it helps!

              Hi,

              How are you.
              I tried it and is not working.
              Trying to Route the ouput of selected tracks to a New Bus(Aux)

              I selected 2 tracks where I have to:
              1-hold Shift+command
              2-go to Track Output Menu>
              3- Then with Press Keys I type the name of New Track, Enter, so the New Track window opens,-
              ( at this point I can release the Shift+Command)
              4 Type the New Aux Bus Name I want to create and enter

              and both outputs of the slected tracks are Routed to the new bus

              All what I did works but is not doing the Holding Shift+Command as only one track gets Routed to the New Bus Created.....so something related to the Hold Shift Comand is not working as that is what happens when yiou do not hold Shift+Command

              Thanks

                      Hey @Reuven_Amiel,
                      try this:

                      sf.ui.proTools.appActivate();

sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.groups.whoseTitle.is('Audio IO').first.popupButtons.allItems[1].popupMenuSelect({
    isShift: true,
    isOption: true,
    menuPath: ["new track..."],
    targetValue: "Enable",
});

sf.ui.proTools.windows.whoseTitle.is('New Track').first.elementWaitFor({
    waitType: "Appear",
});

sf.ui.proTools.windows.whoseTitle.is('New Track').first.checkBoxes.first.checkboxSet({
    targetValue: "Disable",
});
