Thanks for the explanation! Sorry, I got distracted and forgot to write a reply. I don't need the full range of features offered by OBS yet, but I'm strongly considering setting it up just to have control over the video stream. I'm using the Zoom (hah) portable recorder for audio since it offers outstanding audio quality, convenient mic controls and basic signal processing. The problem with controlling apps via keystrokes is exactly what you describe: since the communication is one way, the state of the toggle buttons inevitably gets out of sync. I think maybe using the accessibility API to read the UI state back can help, but I'm not holding my breath.
