Problems with savestates in the pause menu and OpenMSX emulator

[Sbaby]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to configure shortcut keys to save state during BigBox pause. I have made settings similar to those I would use with RetroArch and BlueMsx core, which works great, but it does not work with OpenMSX.

Since the default controls in OpenMsx are Alt-F8 for saving state, I tried

Send {!F8 down}
Sleep 50
Send {!F8 up}

I also tried other similar things, but nothing worked:

ControlSend,, !{F8 down}, ahk_exe openmsx.exe
Sleep 50
ControlSend,, !{F8 up}, ahk_exe openmsx.exe
But this doesn't work either.

What do you think is the reason? Does BigBox block commands in some specific way with OpenMSX? Note that when using the emulator without LB/BB, savestate works fine with pressing ALT-F8.

Thank you very much for any suggestions or similar experiences!

These should be !{F8 down}  vs.  {!F8 down}

You're right, I made a mistake because I wasn't paying attention 🫢

Thank you very much.
