The [number] in the above table refers to the index of the visible channels in the Viz Multiplay GUI. The first visible channel has shortcut key 1, the second visible channel has shortcut key 2 etc. This means that if the GUI contains two channels A and B then A has shortcut key 1 and B has 2.
Note: [number] should be typed without any modifiers (CTRL, SHIFT, ALT etc.). If the combination is a key and a number, the key must be pressed and released followed by the number in two separate consecutive key presses, not a simultaneous key press combination.
