Alternate modifiers?

When assigning a key press to a button you can specify standard modifiers like control and shift using the provided checkboxes. What if you want a non-standard modifier for example pressing and holding the "M" key then pressing the "=" key before releasing both.

I asked on Discord but I think it may have got lost in the churn.

There is a macro function for this, read the manual about it.

Yes, I have tried the macro approach but as far as I can tell that is a sequence of key presses? I see there are those time set parameters for each key press but I can't discern how they would help achieve what I'm after? Assigning action 1 press "M" then action 2 press"=" doesn't give me the press and hold "M" while pressing "=" that I'm after?

Describe in more detail the algorithm of actions with buttons.
So far I have realized that these are 2 different buttons, but which one should be pressed first?
Can she do push-ups on her own or only with a second one?

Press "M" key down and hold down
Press "=" key down and then release
Release "M" key

The general case is:
Press first key down and hold down
Press second key down then release
Release first key
where first key is a non standard modifier i.e. not control, shift alt etc.

As far as I understand, you need to use the ButAlt function and then bind the M key to it. Bind the "=" key to the second button and that's it. But keep in mind that constantly pressing the M key on the keyboard may cause an ambiguous reaction in the system or game.
