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.

Steam Input is designed in a way that does not support executing sequences of inputs.

English isn´t my first language but if I read it doesn't support it, I conclude it isn't able to do it or it isn't designed to do it.

English isn't my first language too (its third in fact). Doesn't support COULD mean several things, depending on the context. In example games never designed for Linux work through Proton. Developers may not support it, but game might work perfectly fine. In context to the Input system, not supporting here means that Valve does not help and doesn't make creating sequences of inputs easy. This at least puts Valve in a position where they can say this wasn't designed as a cheat program.

Oh, I understand what you mean now. Thank you explaining, I took your message as "No, you can't do it and it is considered cheating".

I don't blame anyone for it. I should have framed my statement differently.
