you can't do CTRL + anything from the MSC. It can't do
multi-button functions, unless it's programmed as a single
button press in the PC itself. Try changing hotkeys in
your media player to a single keystroke button, if you
can.
Yes you can. I control my SageTV pc from the MSC, and almost all of the shortcuts are CTRL+something. You just put the 501/502 CTRL code in the macro window, followed by the key you want. Note that you do this in the remote editor, NOT the MSC editor. The remote then effectively sends CTRL+key. It's not fool proof - some parts of the SageTV program only see the CTRL key sometimes, but for the most part it works.
