| You can type the desired key or key combination in the hot key box, or select a predefined key (holding down any desired modifiers) from the popup menu to its right. Note that there is a relatively prevalent [third party / system bug](http://www.stairways.com/action/linkthru?passwordbug) that makes the system think it is permanently in a password field, and this will prevent entering a hot key by typing in this manner. | You can type the desired key or key combination in the hot key box, or select a predefined key (holding down any desired modifiers) from the popup menu to its right.

| - | The keystroke may include zero or more of the normal modifiers (Command, Option, Shift, Control), together with another key (such as a letter, number, function key or other keys). The Fn key is not a modifier and cannot be used as such. It retains its normal purpose in toggling the function keys role, and so it might be part of a hot key, but only if you the function keys normally have their hardware (eg brightness up) role and then Fn key makes them into a function key. | + | The keystroke may include zero or more of the normal modifiers (Command, Option, Shift, Control), together with another key (such as a letter, number, function key or other keys).

| You can configure the hot key trigger to execute the macro when the key is pressed, when it is released, or repeatedly while the key is held down. This allows you to do things like have a macro execute when the key is pressed, and then a second macro execute when the key is released, for example to toggle a setting on and then off again. | You can configure the hot key trigger to execute the macro when the key is pressed, when it is released, or repeatedly while the key is held down.
