I have created a shortcut to insert the time. I am using the "Shortcuts" module and click on the plus sign in the top right of Fastkeys.

I use Date and Time menu option to insert the "SEND" with the following listed in the Send Box:

%A_Time%

I choose the Shortcut Alt + ` and give a Description that says "Insert Current Time" and I leave the Window option blank.

I then click OK and Fastkeys gives an ERROR:

"Some Commands were stopped. Please check latest edited commands and correct possible duplication functions.

Description: !` - Insert Current Time
Module: Shortcuts
Type: Send

So I click on the Error report and get the following:

Error at line 397
Line Text: Alt_`:
Error: This line does not contain a recognized action.
The program will exit.

I then click on the OK button to make the error window go away. The item I just created doesn't work. If I restart Fastkeys without deleting the new item I just created then I get an error upon restart. If I do delete the item then Fastkeys works.

What is going on with this? Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Thanks for reporting - this is a bug when using a shortcut with the backtick (`) character. We will resolve it in the next version. Until then, please use another shortcut.
