So im trying to set up the Q key to well press ALT however no matter what i...

Essentialy what im trying to do is that when i press Q, it will also input ALT at a very small delay... idk if this discussion is dead but id love if someone helped me with this

I have tried making a second command that makes it press the Q key but it ends in a loop

What are parameters of your hotkey ?
What is target application ?
You can try to enable option "Use keyboard hook for all hotkeys".

this is what i currently use, since i couldnt figure it out.
parameter is \alt (the key i want pressed)
target application is none i want it to function anytime
and yes i have tried

You probably need a small delay. To hold alt for 1 second use parameter \altdown\sleep10\altup
