Duh...you're right, of course. No wonder I couldn't get it working... Your response, however, brought something else to light. Why is there no hotkey for reversing a deck? Is there some way to do this 'remotely'? In the module I'm making, there is an opportunity to draw two cards and place 1 on the bottom of the draw deck. Normally, I just treat the discard deck as the bottom of the deck, but here it is important because the draw deck does not get reshuffled until all the cards have been drawn. So, I need to ensure that the card I placed on the bottom of the deck is seen before the cards already in the discard pile. My thought was to have a key command that would reverse the deck, send the card to the deck, then reverse it again. Without a hotkey, I don't think I can do this... Dave

Unfortunately, you can't set a Hot Key for the Reverse command, so you can't use this technique for Reverse. - A Global Key Command sends a 'Key Command' to counters, but not game components like Decks and Toolbars. - A Global Hot Key sends a 'Hot Key' to game components like Decks and Toolbars, but not to counters.
