General Activator Function/Shortcut

The ability to have a general Activator Function could be of great use especially within scripts to display various statusses not tied to the existing Activator Events.
Basically the ability to send (in case of Stream Deck) a color background to the button whenever you like

Along the lines of Function=Activator, Key=StreamDeckButtonDown CA62B, Value = Color (Image would be cool too ;-) )

The button ref could be the same as the one found in Shortcut (for StreamDeck example) key list, Sure it would not be automatic to put but easy enough to find with the shortcut find option

Would certainly bypass the Activator Events not available and be flexible in use cases

There is a little workaround posted here https://forums.vmix.com/...ng-for-Dummies#post98564 by faking things a bit and has production setup limitations using the vMix StreamDeck plugin

To make this shortcut more general, I'd suggest a more open format to support all "activator capable" devices. Also to make the shortcut more streamline with all the other shortcuts it maybe could look something like this:



So a function could look like this:


If I'm right vMix already uses "context" when dealing with activators and shortcuts for button reference.
Also the values are just the ones already used when setting up an activator. The value of course depends on the device/type specified - StreamDeck needs hex-colors, while X-Key Controllers only supports blue and red leds.
If there would be an easy solution to get the button-context, I'd be very pleased. But even without that, I'd rather go into the preset-file and manually copy out the right values, than not having that function.

I recently run into more and more cases, where I want to set an activator based on if-statements. Not only because there are some activators missing, sometimes I want to have multiple conditions for one activator.
