I'm a new user and I'm trying to add an action. Actually I was trying to edit the Refresh gesture action.
This is what I edited:

-- this code sends the F5 key to refresh the window

acSendKeys("^+r")

Where "^+r" is supposed to be CTRL+SHIFT+R. But it actually disables it. I use it for refreshing gmail in the browser.

I just copied and pasted your acSendKeys("^+r") line and tested in GMail, it seems to reload fine for me.

What do you mean when you say "But it actually disables it."?

Yeah. The gesture doesn't work. And when I try the keyboard command nothing happens. It's fixed by exiting Strokesplus

What keyboard layout are you using? Meaning, is it a non-US English layout?

Do any these behave any differently?
acSendControlDown()
acSendShiftDown()
acSendKeys("r")
acSendShiftUp()
acSendControlUp()

OR

acSendKeyDown(162)  --Left Control
acSendKeyDown(160)  --Left Shift
acSendKeys("r")     --r
acSendKeyUp(160)    --Left Control
acSendKeyUp(162)    --Left Shift

OR

acSendKeyDown(162) --Left Control
acSendKeyDown(160) --Left Shift
acSendKeyDown(82)  --r
acSendKeyUp(82)    --r 
acSendKeyUp(160)   --Left Control
acSendKeyUp(162)   --Left Shift

Did you try any of the three script sets above? The keyboard layout isn't something within StrokePlus, that would be in Windows.

Just copy and paste them from above in place of your acSendKeys code. Only copy one set (5 lines) per try, otherwise it would execute all of them. Click Apply or OK then see if the gesture reloads GMail. If not, try the next set of 5 lines.

Ah, that would probably do it too! Glad you got it figured out.
