Hi, I'm very happy with the AAO Streamdeck and have it working in a lot of situations but have hit a wall. I'd like to increase the A/P Altitude by both thousands and hundreds using the same key, and I don't know if this is a feature request or is something that can be done now and I'm just not figuring out how.  The finished programming on the Streamdeck would be to hold down the key and see the altitude increment up by 1,000', once it's at the desired thousands, release the key and then "tap" the key to increase by hundreds.  The feature request would be to have the long press repeat. When I turn on the repeat function currently and include a long press function, I only get one long press without a repeat. Am I missing the way to get the long press to repeat?  The Streamdeck add-on from Flight Tracker functions this way but doesn't have the ability to be programmed to work with the HJet or the Flysimware C414, which is my goal.  

Thank you!

Yes, because the app can't figure out which one of the two you want when you are just holding down a button. They are exclusive at the moment.

Problem is, that implementing a repeat on the long click seems like a major change at this point, and the risk of breaking a lot of existing profiles in the process is definitely there. I can look into it, but no promises.

Incidentally, the plugin is just a bunch of Javascript, and it was always intended as just a demo of what you can do with the AAO WebAPI. So feel free to dive in and change it any way you want.

Then again, my perspective is limited to the programmer's view. There are a lot of talented people who may have a solution that I can't see.

Thank you! I'm afraid getting the StreamDeck to work is the limit of my programming ability. Best wishes and thanks for the quick reply.

I will definitely look into it, I'm just not sure if it will work out. There is always a way, but things are a little different when there is so much content already out there - you can't just do whatever you want as the programmer.

OK, so I may have found a quick fix. But I'm scared, because this change will affect all AAO actions.

Would you be willing to test this new version of the plugin? If so, please send me an email with your proof of purchase to the support address (last page of the AAO manual)

Thank you!  Email sent!

Hello, any update on this request?   Thx.

That was a long time ago - as far as I remember, the long click repeat was implemented back then. IIRC when you implement a long click, then the Repeat property will only work for the long, not for the short. You can't have both, as the plugin cannot decide what you mean when you are holding down a button (=do you want to repeat the short click or trigger the long click?)

I am having the opposite problem I think...

I want my tap to send a 1 with:

(FOCUS:FlightSimulator) (SPLIT:200)  ( (VKD:2-130-49) (SPLIT:100) (VKU:2-130-49)

and I want a long press to send a 6 with:

(FOCUS:FlightSimulator) (SPLIT:200)  (VKD:7-135-54) (SPLIT:100) (VKU:7-135-54)

The problem is the 6 repeats several times. I only want it to happen once.

I've tried different values of LP after MS, but still always get loops.

I am on version 4.00 b46 for MSFS.

What's the StreamDeck plugin version? LP doesn't repeat unless you tell it to.

Hard to tell. For the past couple of days I can get on the AxisAndOhs website. But the .zip file is _31_01.zip that I downloaded on 12/18. The pdf says Version 22.01 15.05.2023. I double clicked on it and it said it was already installed. 

I do see an option for No repeat (but above the long press section.)

You can check in the Elgato software by opening the "hamburger menu" top right and right clicking on one of the actions.

Anyway, 31.01 is correct. And what action are you trying to do this with?

Thanks, 31.01 is the version I have. 

I want to Press a stream deck button and send a '1' to msfs. I then want to be able to hold that button and send a '6' instead.

What happens is I can short press and get the 1. But when I long press, I get many 6's. 

I want to use AxisAndOhs so that it will focus on the msfs with (FOCUS:FlightSimulator) first. I previously created a AutoHotkey script to do the same and another stream deck button. But doing it through this software seems a little more efficient - if I can get it to work.

Yes, I understood that.

But what Action out of the Lorby Plugin are you using for that where it didn't work (Button? Toggle? Event? MultiGauge? ....)? Is there a return value that has to be displayed? What are the specifics?

For example, I can do this with the "Event" Action

Key Down Event:
Type S:
Code: (FOCUS:notepad++) (SPLIT:200) (VKD:2-130-49) (SPLIT:100) (VKU:2-130-49)
Event Value 1
Repeat: No

Long press down:
Type S:
Code: (FOCUS:notepad++) (SPLIT:200) (VKD:7-135-54) (SPLIT:100) (VKU:7-135-54)
LP after ms: 250

Works exactly as you've specified. With a short click I get a "1" in Notepad++ and when I hold it down I get a "6". Exactly one digit in each case, they don't repeat.
