Default Control app soft keys not working as expected

Hi everyone,

I've been trying to create some custom soft keys for a tablet running the Control app, without much luck so far.

One of the workflows I'm trying to automate is printing my final mix. The intended sequence of commands would be: Scroll to the "print" track in the session, select it and the next track down, arm them both, and record.

I've got the following programmed so far:

Key (Alt) (Cmd) f
Key print
Key \n
Key (Shift) ;

The soft key works as intended with the first three lines, but if I add anything after that, the text doesn't get entered correctly into the "Scroll To Track" dialog. I've also tried using the Eucon command for Scroll To Track, but this was even more unpredictable, with the text being entered correctly about half the time.

Is this expected behaviour, or a bug? I'd be grateful if anyone could point out a glaring user error, or suggest a workaround.

Many thanks.

Just in case my sig's out of date:
Mac Mini M1 16GB; macOS 11.5.2; Pro Tools Ultimate 2021.7.0; Eucon 4.7.9.7

This is possibly due to timing. We want to add a better way to put a delay in the macros.

Thanks Eddie - glad to know this issue is on your radar.

I’d be curious to hear from anyone who’s successfully programming macros to the soft keys.
