Clear description of the problem - try and include as much information as possible, including what button and mappings you are having problems with (if applicable).:

I can't get Xmouse to chord {WinL}L the keyboard shortcut to lock the screen. It seems the Windows button has to be pressed first then the "L" key so I tried using wait then send "L" but it did not lock computer.

I guess it must be a protected key sequence... Why don't you just choose "Lock Workstation" instead of simulated keystrokes?

That is the easy way to do it. No fun.

Just kidding. Didn't think to look on the drop down - been using this program so log I just go directly to button chording simulated keys. lol

Thanks for this wonderful program.

I know what you mean, I tend to default to simkeys too... I mean, I could add a tag to do it from there but it's probably not worth it in this case!

Incidentally, I just tried on my other laptop with {LWIN}L and first time, it worked, and from then on, it hasn't worked.
{LWIN}x works fine (and that's also a secure key sequence) secure key sequences only work with the installed version or when running as administrator. I don't really understand why {LWIN}L is not working every time.

If I press the assigned button with notepad open, it seems to send 'l' so maybe its not registering the {LWIN} properly, but the log indicates that it is... All very odd
