Modifier ignored when playing FF14

[Masters2150]

Love the app, got you a coffee too!

I'm hoping you can help me with a issue I'm having with FF14 and a macro.

The macro clicks the left mouse button, then does a ctrl + a number.
key(BTN_LEFT).wait(250).
modify(Control_L, key(1))

On a keyboard/mouse tester it registers everything fine, but in game, it's like it ignores ctrl and does the click and number. Tried it with the other modifiers and same issue.

I also tried the hold keys macro but same thing.

Just a guess, maybe it's pressing the number a split second before the modifier? I can't see any other reason it might be doing this.

Any help or work arounds would be appreciated!

Edit: If I use this: hold_keys(Control_L)
Then press a number on my keyboard, it works.

But if I put this it doesn't:
hold_keys(Control_L)
key(0)

Edit 2: Found a wait for make the CTRL + KEY work, but not with the WAIT command which is needed.

key(BTN_LEFT).hold_keys(Control_L, 0)
But if I add a wait command in between the mouse click and the button, it doesn't work. Tried removing the wait command in my original macro, but no effect.
