create a sequence of buttons

[JEANPY33]

Good morning,
Previously, thanks to my Logiteck G110 keyboard I sent commands composed of several keyboard keys by pressing a key from G1 to G12 for FSX or P3D.
Unable to produce these orders with Fs2020
So I try with FSUIPC7 (purchased version) but I am unable to create a sequence of buttons like: Ctrl L+O+F5+AltJ
Who could help me???
Thank you and happy holidays to all

Can you please explain what you mean. Key assignments are for a key press, possibly with modifiers, but not for "sequences". You can assign to "Ctrl+L", to "O" and to "Alt+J'.
Or do you want to send a sequence of key presses? If so, what is triggering them to be sent?

Hello and good year,
I have a Logitech G110 keyboard which has 12 keys G1 to G12 on its left. Previously I could assign any sequence of keys to, for example, turn off the landing and runway lights and also turn off the transponder. It worked very well with FSX and P3D but now with FS2020 nothing happens (cannot find eg FS2020 exe).
As a result, I'm trying to use FSUIPC to address these 3 or 4 commands from a single key on my keyboard....
Thank you for looking into this problem
Best regards

To make multiple assignments to a key press, do the following:
1. Make the first assignment to the key press, as normal. Confirm, click Ok to close the key assignment panel, then re-open the key assignment panel
2. Open the FSUIPC7.ini file in an editor. Find the key assignment just made, then comment it out by placing a semi-colon (;) before the assignment line number and save.
3. In the key assignments panel, click 'Reload all keys'.
4. You can now make the 2nd assignment to the key press.
5. if you want to make more assignments, reload the file in the editor and do the same, i.e. comment out the assignment in the file and save, reload the assignments in the UI, and then make the new assignment. Repeat until all assignments made.
6. When all assignments are made, uncomment (i.e. remove the semi-colon you added) all the previous assignments and save. Do this with the key assignments panel in FSUIPC7 open.
7. Reload all keys again. You should now have multiple assignments to the same key press. The UI will only show the first assignment and it will be grayed-out/disabled. This indicates that there are multiple assignments on that key press, and you can no longer change this via the UI, only by editing the ini file.

Hello, I just spent the morning and early afternoon trying to complete this multiple assignments
I cannot succeed, because with each new assignment it removes the previous command from the ;ini file even though I have carried out the suggested manipulation:
Keys.737 pmdg]
1=;226,8,66053,0 ;226,8,66060,0 -{<>key: Press=STROBES_OFF }-
For what ?
Best regards JEAN

Phew!
I tried again by putting the ; before the start of the command line
;3=226,8,66053,0 ;226,8,66060,0 -{<>key: Press=STROBES_OFF }-
And now everything works
Many thanks again for your help
