Creating an input sequence in steam input (feddit.org)

I am currently trying to create a hotkey, that executes a sequence of inputs, to switch my equipment efficiently.

What I need is a way to disable all other inputs, while it is executed. As well as a way to only have it executed once per button press. Independent from how long it's being held.

I think there's a way around that, I know there's a Lethal Company input scheme that will type whole computer commands for you. I need to dig that control scheme up and see how he does it.

I would like to see that too, you know, for science. Well there are methods I guess, because I could automate two keys (not sure if I did more). I was very careful with my wording before to not exclude this entirely, just saying its hard to do and Steam Input does not make it easily possible.

But thinking of that, maybe they create the configuration file with a different third party tool. The Steam Input configuration is just a regular (formatted) text file that can be edited easily. If I have to guess, then they probably used some sort of config generator instead using the Steam Input GUI.

I was able to create an input sequence using multiple actions and manually setting the activation delay on them. Tho my problem with it not ignoring other inputs, while executing the actions, still remains.
