Struggling with Hot key timecoding

[FlorenceofArabia]

I simply do not understand how to make this work, I have created my 'hot key' but truly cannot understand how to use it. Client requires timecodes to be 'offset' and I'm just lost.

Standard keyboard shortcuts can normally only be used when the application window has focus. System-wide hot-keys, on the other hand, can be used when you are working in another application, or even when the application is minimized. Note: System-wide hot-keys take precedence over standard keyboard shortcuts. In other words, if a key is configured as both a standard keyboard shortcut and a system-wide hot-key, then only the hot-key command will be run when the key is pressed. From the Hot-Keys tab of Options you can:

• Enable system-wide hot-keys: Tick the checkbox to enable hot-keys. Disable system-wide hot-keys if they are not needed and / or they are interfering with the operation of other programs.
• Add: Click the Add button to create and add a new hot-key. This will open the Add New Hot-Key dialog.
• Change: Click the Change button to modify the selected existing hot-key in the list. This will opens the Change Hot-Key Command dialog.
• Delete: Click the Delete button to delete the selected existing hot-key(s) in the list.
• Set defaults: Reset all hot-keys to the default configuration. (Not available in all applications.)
