All are assigned to single keys which where defined in LCedit+ 
Keystrokes, the jog shuttle to arrow up/dwn (jog up/dwn with shift in 
far left/right).

Does above mean that its sending all chars twice?

Why not made a keystroke e.g. ctrl-F1 (one stroke) =  nc;l7  Now 
x-keys only need to send one key to select your fixtures and select 
layer. Now send a v and arrows up/down (with or without shift) to 
raise lower the DMX values.


It's a pity that u, v, x, y are not CLI keys, we will look into that. 
I would like that you can make a single stroke key with nc;l7;v  so 
you only need to send arrows after this stroke :-)

Please next time, note the error numbers, so we can have a look. The 
reason is possible that normally keys are typed relatively slow, 
while in your case a whole bunch of keys are spit out maybe way too 
fast.
