Stingers in the "Add shortcut" window...

Hi everyone,
When adding a new shortcut to trigger an input with a transition, all transitions (Cut, wipe, etc) allow you to select a Duration and the Input to trigger. But the "Stinger 1" & "Stinger 2" there do not give these options: they can only be used to switch the inputs between Program and Preview.
IMHO, the naming of the elements of this menu could be improved by calling all the transitions at the top of the list "Fade to...", "Zoom to..." etc to reflect that the user is able to choose the Duration and Input to trigger with these. And of course, it would be super nice to add "Stinger 1 to..." and "Stinger 2 to..." transitions to this list.
I'm posting this because after trying multiple ways (testing, reading the documentation, searching the forum...), I've not found how to trigger a Stinger transition to a specific Input from the shortcuts.
Thanks ! :)

how about create 2 shortcuts with the same key/control ?
first one to function "PreviewInput" second one function "Stingerx"
they will act sequentially

Thanks doggy. Your solution works for external controllers, but my intent is to use the vmix Web controller instead, from a tablet. And in that case, it displays 2 buttons, that I have to tap simultaneously (but I'm maybe missing something here).
Of course, there is always the option of creating myself a webpage, and using JS to activate multiple shortcuts on one button. But I think this kind of bulky solution could be avoided, as IMHO it's something that could be offered natively by the Shortcuts function.

There is an "advanced" tab when creating a shortcut ;-) doggy attached the following image(s): advanced.JPG (34kb) downloaded 6 time(s).You cannot view/download attachments. Try to login or register.

Thanks again doggy. So this works if I define a key for the second Shortcut, then call it via the Advanced tab from the first Shortcut.
Do we agree on the fact the whole process would be easier by choosing directly a "Stinger 1 to..." transition from the "Add shortcut" window in a first place ? :)
Thanks a lot again for your help

I meant, keep the current behaviour for a "Stinger 1" entry (I understand completely the flexibility point), and add the new options under a "Stinger 1 to..." entry (like the existing "Fade" or "Cut" entries).
