I haven't tried it myself but have you tried running the PNGTuber application as administrator? You may have to do the same for OBS, but that's what usually causes my problems regarding OBS and streaming

I just opened both in administrator and tested that! This is actually the second time I heard this recommendation and - uh.. sorry, no - saddly it did not work.. I still have to be directly on PNGTuberPlus and have the application activated and selected in order to change outfits

If you are on windows and don't mind installing AutoHotKey, I wrote a script that does this exactly. I'm planning on putting it up somewhere for people to download + some instructions

edit: oops, meant to reply to the base post. Haven't ever used itch before so idk how the site works yet lmao

I already made something like this days ago (but it uses HIDMacro in conjunction with AutoHotKey tho), I had posted it in a different thread. https://itch.io/t/3176759/costume-hotkeys-not-working-unless-window-is-active it already has some instructions and I plan to make a new community thread once I finish a video tutorial for it

Oh cool! Mine is just plain AutoHotKey. I did see yours but HIDMacro is unmaintained so I wanted to see if I could get it working with just AHK first.

Yeah I get it. When I made this I had zero knowledge about either if I'm being honest and it was made within a day. I realized a day or two before posting it that you can definitely do it all within AutoHotKey, but I decided to leave it as is because of:

1. User-friendliness once everything is set up (i don't think people want to re-write code that they may not be familiar with every time they want to change a key press),

2. Shortcuts being keyboard dependent (I know there's the AHKHID library, but I haven't been able to look into it in depth and I feel like that would add a lot more complexity to the end user to change/setup something),

3. Laziness :] (main limiting factor if I'm being honest and why I didn't use Lua Macros instead)

4. (as a bonus) integration with other apps like streamer.bot (~~but that doesn't need the HIDMacros part tho~~)
