Hi,
in version 1.8 of MIDI Translator Pro, you can use single keys as trigger for Incoming Actions, but it is not straight forward for keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+S (as it is possible in the keystroke Outgoing Action). We will work on this for a future version of MT, but for now, you can use this recipe:
For all the needed modifiers, define separate incoming actions, which each set a global variable to 1 if the respective modifier is down, and reset it to 0 if up. I use the global variables starting with "m", and second letter s for Shift, c for Control, and a for Alt:
Now for the actual keys you want to do an action in response to, use the Rules to check for the modifiers. Here are a few examples, where the Translator name tells you which keystroke combination it is triggering on, and sends a MIDI Control Change when the respective shortcut is pressed:
Attached is the demo project.
Hope that helps!
