Hi think that most vMix users use vMix as standalone program. They don't bother about anything else so they have whole keyboard for use. I have this situation: Iam moderator in semi-political sessions in our district. I mainly use other program let's call it "HLAS" (controlling microphones, voting and some text writing) And i don't have almost no time to start votting in HLAS, switch to vMix fade-in votting screen, switch to HLAS finish voting, switch to vMix fade-in static camera, switch back to HLAS and start there another topic.
so a use AUTO HOT KEY (a ton of help on internet and manual is big bible) on my programable keys on keyboard. Ill show you some simple code:
============== !Q:: WinActivate ,vMix - 22.0.0.48 x64 Send {Numpad5} WinActivate ,HLAS - ahk_class TMainForm Return ==============
!=ALT Q=Q make vMix window active and type "5" <-this is in vMix shortcut for NumPad5 then make window HLAS active and done
so whenever i type ALT+Q all that staf above happens I know this is not what you asked for but you can pretty much easly program your special keys to shortucs like this one above. Unfortunately in vMix is it still only one character in this case NumPad5. As i say before i need mainly control another program where is requirement to write some text from time to time and i don't have to be worry that i start typing something and realize a have done some super mess in vMix program since it is not active window.
you can also Send {F20}, and in vMix bind shortcut for F20 - since you probably don't have F20 on your keyboard it will not bother you and still works.

+1 i use shortcuts (numeric keypad 0-9) to change datasources. more precisely - DataSourceSelectRow. works fine until you have 11+ rows. modifiers ALT, SHIFT, CTRL would give me 40 rows. That would be totally supergreat.

This seems like a lot of work when you could buy something like this https://www.amazon.com/midiplus-Smartpad-USB-MIDI-Controller/dp/B00WU6FDNG And would not have to have vMix in focus and have a more keys for you to work with. My 2 cents, Steve BTW I do support Modifier keys as a feature though :-) +1

has this already been implemented into vMix? I would love to use "shift" with my shortcuts.

+1 REALLY important. Please add this feature. (also the single letter or number shortcuts should be ignored if a modifier is pressed)

+1 Can't believe this hasn't been implemented already. The scan codes must available.

+1 This would be really useful if there are multiple cameras with angles that work for a specific region. Button for straight on camera, ctrl+button for camera from left, alt+button for camera from right.

We are coming from a Newtek 3play for replay. It is a steep learning curve from how we used our previous system. We had the use of modifier keys with that system. We are still finding limitations with the vMix 24 replay system that we would like to see upgraded, or we just haven't been able to find yet. Unfortunately vMix sometimes may have a feature hidden away somewhere, but very little documentation or tutorials on it. Not saying it is turning into a "W*#&cast" but there are still some very basic things missing.
We would very much like to see modifier keys either from a keyboard or even from other controllers, such as shift keys on MIDI controllers, etc.
