Of course it is possible. Doing it in the profile settings in the setup dialog of plugin:

This could theoretically be possible, but very complicated manner.

I turn off OSD but now when i type in MCE keypad i don't see the text in the web search box i have to click enter to see it which is not good at all is this what you mean when you said it's a very complicated manner. Is that a normal behavior? can that behavior be change?

I don't know if this is the result you want.
But you could add an Emulate Keystrokes: {Return} after the Emulate Keystrokes: {eg.event.payload} resulting in you only having to press the Multitap enter to send the string and make a search directly.

I do not understand what you expect from it.
If you want to write blindly, and then send the result, then you're on the right way.
You might expect that you will be directly in IE continually see what you write.
But it would really be so complicated that I do not have time to do some demo.

Ok I tried the singlekey I like it, the only problem now is that the multitap caps lock key does not function at all. I press the multicap caps lock and i just see the lower case letter in the OSD. Is that a normal behavior? If not how do i configure it?

Using your example, It seems to function like I expect it.

OK, I misunderstood you, but you should not have quoted my unrelated post.

Attach your EvetGhost config, or it's hard to help.

Anyone that have these kinds of problems with EventGhost or a plugin really need to provide any relevant config files or settings. It makes it much easier to help and at least I get more motivated to help the more relevant information is provided, as most of us on this forum are not mind readers. :wink:
