Can't get Action Commands For Keyboard Shortcuts to work

I can’t figure out how to get Action Commands For Keyboard Shortcuts to work.
I created the following custom command:
dtfc||dee tee ef c||dee tee ef see||dee tee ef sea,<press:dtfc>

I want the Action Commands For Keyboard Shortcut to have the same effect as when I use my desktop keyboard to type the letters, “dtfc”, I.e., my typing will trigger a MacroExpress macro, and the macro types the following “The DateTime is” followed by the date time in the following format “2025-10-18_15-00”

Initially, when I created the command, and I tried to use it, I would see a sort of pop-up window, which disappeared quickly, but which said, “Voice In started debugging this browser”. The command did not trigger the MacroExpress macro.

I did some research in the VoiceIn training materials from which I got the impression that I needed to modify the Windows shortcut to Google Chrome so that, when I load Google Chrome from the shortcut, it loads with the following path string:
“C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe” --silent-debugger-extension-api

I posted in image of the Chrome shortcut’s properties at the following URL:


After I altered the Chrome Target field by adding the string “ --silent-debugger-extension-api” I stopped getting the sort of window which said, “Voice In started debugging this browser”. But the command still does not trigger the MacroExpress macro.

Are you looking for something like this?

VoiceIn press each letter
