Yeah, I messed something up. But now it works 🙂

Hi Meo-Ada Mespotine, I installed your Ultraschall repo. There are a lot of very useful scripts in there, thank you.

In your online documentation, you show the following:

get_action_context
Lua: boolean is_new_value, string filename_with_path, integer sectionID, integer cmdID, integer mode, integer resolution, integer val, string contextstr = reaper.get_action_context()

I get "9: bad argument #1 to 'ShowConsoleMsg' (string expected, got nil)" when trying to view the contents contextstr, which is supposed to show the shortcut that ran the action. What am I doing wrong? I know this is a reaper function and when I look at their description, it doesn't list contextstr as a return item where yours does. I'm really hoping I am able to capture the shortcut as I have several shortcuts bound to the script and I would like to be able to do some conditional execution based on which shortcut was used. If I am not able to get that via reaper.get_action_context() is there another function I can use to accomplish this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My bad, I see that this return value requires Reaper 6.71 and above. I was still on 6.70. I've updated Reaper and it's all good now. Regards.

Yeah. That's why I add a small icon with versionnumber to each function in the docs, so you can see, which Reaper version is required for the newest set of features in that function.
