First of all, thanks for this excellent tool. I'm using this for my HTPC to work alongside my Harmony Remote and it works great.
A new project i've started is attempting to integrate several emulators with my XBMC setup. I want to make it so that I can close a program by pressing multiple keys at the same time (i.e. an emulator). I have the Plugin: Joystick added, and it is seeing joystick keypresses in the log window fine.
I need to make a configuration that performs a close (of a window) when two or more buttons are pressed at the same time. Is that possible to make in EventGhost?

Re: Close on multiple keys pressed
I do not know anything about your joystick.
Perform the test:
1. Press any key combination (two or more buttons) simultaneously
2. Copy a few last lines from the logger and put it here (you must not have checked the checkbox Log only assigned and activated events)
Still need to know more information:
1. In fact, you never pressed two buttons at the same time. Always there is a difference. What time (difference) you still think, that keys pressed simultaneously (for example, difference <= 0.1 s)?
2. Much easier to deal with two buttons, than three and more. For your purpose enough just two buttons?
3. If enough just two buttons, there is still a question. They have to be any two keys (which I consider dangerous, it can also happen unintentionally) or two specific keys? It is possible to assign different actions to different combinations of keys.

Re: Close on multiple keys pressed
Hey Pako and everyone else
I'm interested in such a function, too.
I want to use the four arrow buttons on my mce to move the cursor also to 45┬░, 135┬░, 225┬░ and 315┬░.
Is that possible somehow?
