Hi there.
Is there a trigger to change the category color of an input?
I would like to make different 'reset' inputs with loads of triggers to define all kinds of stuff. And it would be awesome if I could change category color so the user can only see the inputs needed for that part of the show.
I can only find the Selectcategory, but thats to change the category of what your are viewing. I want to be able to change the category of a input with a trigger.
Also, is there somewhere an overview what each trigger does? I have the idea there are tons of usefull triggers but I don't know what they do.

A trigger can do whatever a shortcut can do basically (exceptions confirm the rule), one can check that list by opeing shortcuts editing or the list in the vMix help files

I don't quite understand what you want to achieve? As doggy has already written, you can achieve a lot with triggers or shortcuts. I'm not sure if you are looking for something like this: ShortcutsSelectCategory Change to Category according to Value (All,Red,Green,Orange,Purple,Aqua,Blue) Value = Category

I'm making a daily show with dozens of inputs/presets. But a lot of them won't be needed every day. Day one only inputs 30-40. Day two only 50-60. etc.
So I was planning to easily switch between the category color of that input, with a shortcut/trigger. For Day one I would change category of input 30-40 to RED, leave 50-60 black. For Day one I would change category of input 50-60 to RED, change 30-40 to black. etc.
By default I would only see the RED category inputs. If make a lot of triggers, changing the color of the inputs I want to use, to RED, I only would see the inputs I need for that show.

Triggers are used to respond to an input action
Shortcuts are functions that can be called with triggers, keys, Midi controllers , scripts etc
that said IMO even if a shortcut would exist the time it would take to specify all the individual commands to move the inputs to a category might as well be used to just move them (what is simpler than just dragging them?) or just the needed ones loaded and save as a preset

Also, is it possible to make a shortcut with a combination of buttons? For example CTRL + T.
I want to make a shortcut that activates a valid test on the 2 outputs. But for obvious reasons I want to be sure you don't press that shortcut accidentally.... 🙃

I checked the manual. Again. I tried making a shortcut, press find, press CTRL and T it only shows T. Or CTRL if that is the key I release last. I've searched Google. I've looked a 10 minute vMix Tutorial on YouTube. So I think I checked.

thanks! Fail to see the usefulness or logic of this as in what criteria would define which input it is be based on the category selected ( a bit more details in the purpose?). Categories are basically just a display filter (only) of all the inputs. but if you want to know to which categorie an input belongs one retrieve that from the (last) preset file with a script and do your logic there

your post allready shows a logic you can use. each color selection represents input 1 + (9*x) so when you select a category at the same time save a value representing the category ( as X) in the form of a value from 0 to 9 ( can store it in dynamic values) so when calling for a preview retrieve the value and use function PreviewInput&Input=input 1 + (9*value) ..... PreviewInput&Input=input 9 + (9*value)
