Thank you very much for replying, wch1zpink.

I’m not quite sure what happened with the first few attempts to play the hotkey in this application.

The first attempt was precisely to write the solution you suggest and it didn’t work.

Then I interpreted that I had to hold down the Command key (that’s why I wrote that strange code) and it didn’t work either.

Trying it later, the solution is simpler: just pressing twice repeatedly the Command-c combination.

Thanks again for trying to help me.

Regards. :slight_smile:
