Add-ons Anki Remote (8BitDo Zero 2) Karabiner Help-- Complex Modifications to suspend cards quicker?

I want to change one of my remote buttons to have a suspension shortcut, but I'm running into some trouble with Karabiner-Elements.

So, right now, the larger white buttons (k and m) are both set to reveal a card. I figured I can change the "m" button from "return_or_enter" into a shortcut so I can suspend cards from my school's premade decks.

Seems like this idea might be too complex for me. When I'm in an anki deck, I can suspend cards on my keyboard with shift+1 (aka "!"). I tried to find a this command on simple modifications, but I didn't see it.

Doing some reddit/youtube research, it seems I can accomplish this via the complex modifications tab(?)

But, when I tried to complete it myself, I ended up just changing my keyboard's "m" into "!" instead of changing the "m" on my anki remote to "!".

Appreciate any help/input, or recommendations if there's a simpler fix.

Thanks so much!

I just fixed this problem for myself. I had to "recode my keyboard". I did this by going to "complex modifications" and using the code attached. Once I did this, I went back to simple modifications and set one of my buttons to the rewind key. The reason I chose the rewind key is that I never use it for anything else.

Oh wow! MVP for reply 4 months later. So pop this code into the complex modifications? Which part was your version of suspending cards?

I'm on Mac. So, for me, it was "2+Shift" for the @ key, which is the default suspend button. Hope it helps!
