Keybow custom layout troubles

Hello, I hope everyone is good.

I’m having some issues trying to set up a custom layout on my Keybow. Everything is all set up ok, and I can use the example layouts (for example default.lua or lightroom.lua) by uncommenting them in keys.lua.

However, I’ve tried setting up my own custom layout for use with some Adobe programs but I can’t seem to get it to work. I think I have set it up correctly, below is my custom layout:

require "keybow"

function handle_key_00(pressed) -- Zoom out
    if pressed then
        keybow.set_modifier(keybow.LEFT_META, keybow.KEY_DOWN)
        keybow.tap_key("-", pressed)
        keybow.set_modifier(keybow.LEFT_META, keybow.KEY_UP)
    end
end

function handle_key_01(pressed) -- Reset view
    if pressed then
        keybow.set_modifier(keybow.LEFT_META, keybow.KEY_DOWN)
        keybow.tap_key("0", pressed)
        keybow.set_modifier(keybow.LEFT_META, keybow.KEY_UP)
    end
end

function handle_key_02(pressed) -- Zoom in
    if pressed then
        keybow.set_modifier(keybow.LEFT_META, keybow.KEY_DOWN)
        keybow.tap_key("=", pressed)
        keybow.set_modifier(keybow.LEFT_META, keybow.KEY_UP)
    end
end

function handle_key_03(pressed) -- Send behind
    if pressed then
        keybow.set_modifier(keybow.LEFT_META, keybow.KEY_DOWN)
        keybow.tap_key("[", pressed)
        keybow.set_modifier(keybow.LEFT_META, keybow.KEY_UP)
    end
end

function handle_key_04(pressed) -- Send to back
    if pressed then
        keybow.set_modifier(keybow.LEFT_META, keybow.KEY_DOWN)
        keybow.set_modifier(keybow.LEFT_SHIFT, keybow.KEY_DOWN)
        keybow.tap_key("[", pressed)
        keybow.set_modifier(keybow.LEFT_META, keybow.KEY_UP)
        keybow.set_modifier(keybow.LEFT_SHIFT, keybow.KEY_UP)
    end
end

function handle_key_05(pressed) -- Bring forward
    if pressed then
        keybow.set_modifier(keybow.LEFT_META, keybow.KEY_DOWN)
        keybow.tap_key("]", pressed)
        keybow.set_modifier(keybow.LEFT_META, keybow.KEY_UP)
    end
end

function handle_key_06(pressed) -- Paste without formatting or paste in place
    if pressed then
        keybow.set_modifier(keybow.LEFT_META, keybow.KEY_DOWN)
        keybow.set_modifier(keybow.LEFT_SHIFT, keybow.KEY_DOWN)
        keybow.set_modifier(keybow.LEFT_ALT, keybow.KEY_DOWN)
        keybow.tap_key("v", pressed)
        keybow.set_modifier(keybow.LEFT_META, keybow.KEY_UP)
        keybow.set_modifier(keybow.LEFT_SHIFT, keybow.KEY_UP)
        keybow.set_modifier(keybow.LEFT_ALT, keybow.KEY_UP)
    end
end

function handle_key_07(pressed) -- Send to front
    if pressed then
        keybow.set_modifier(keybow.LEFT_META, keybow.KEY_DOWN)
        keybow.set_modifier(keybow.LEFT_SHIFT, keybow.KEY_DOWN)
        keybow.tap_key("]", pressed)
        keybow.set_modifier(keybow.LEFT_META, keybow.KEY_UP)
        keybow.set_modifier(keybow.LEFT_SHIFT, keybow.KEY_UP)
    end
end

function handle_key_08(pressed) -- Fit frame to content or text
    if pressed then
        keybow.set_modifier(keybow.LEFT_META, keybow.KEY_DOWN)
        keybow.set_modifier(keybow.LEFT_ALT, keybow.KEY_DOWN)
        keybow.tap_key("c", pressed)
        keybow.set_modifier(keybow.LEFT_META, keybow.KEY_UP)
        keybow.set_modifier(keybow.LEFT_ALT, keybow.KEY_UP)
    end
end

function handle_key_09(pressed) -- Group
    if pressed then
        keybow.set_modifier(keybow.LEFT_META, keybow.KEY_DOWN)
        keybow.tap_key("g", pressed)
        keybow.set_modifier(keybow.LEFT_META, keybow.KEY_UP)
end

function handle_key_10(pressed) -- Ungroup
    if pressed then
        keybow.set_modifier(keybow.LEFT_META, keybow.KEY_DOWN)
        keybow.set_modifier(keybow.LEFT_SHIFT, keybow.KEY_DOWN)
        keybow.tap_key("g", pressed)
        keybow.set_modifier(keybow.LEFT_META, keybow.KEY_UP)
        keybow.set_modifier(keybow.LEFT_SHIFT, keybow.KEY_UP)
    end
end

function handle_key_11(pressed) -- Release clipping path
    if pressed then
        keybow.set_modifier(keybow.LEFT_META, keybow.KEY_DOWN)
        keybow.set_modifier(keybow.LEFT_ALT, keybow.KEY_DOWN)
        keybow.tap_key("7", pressed)
        keybow.set_modifier(keybow.LEFT_META, keybow.KEY_UP)
        keybow.set_modifier(keybow.LEFT_ALT, keybow.KEY_UP)
    end
end

As far as I can tell I have followed the guide to set it up, and have chosen my custom layout in keys.lua, by commenting all the others and adding mine like so (my one is called adobe):

require "keybow"
-- require "layouts/default" -- Numberpad

-- Custom layouts (uncomment to enable) --

-- require "layouts/boilerplate" -- Handy bits of boilerplate text like Lorem Ipsum
-- require "layouts/lightroom" -- Handy hotkeys for Adobe Lightroom Classic CC
-- require "layouts/pico8" -- Controls for Pico-8
-- require "layouts/mediakeys" -- Basic media controls (play/pause, volume etc)
-- require "layouts/midi_keys" -- Experimental MIDI layout
-- require "layouts/blink" -- Numberpad with light feedback
-- require "layouts/mini" -- Keybow MINI example layout
-- require "layouts/mini_volume" -- Keybow MINI volume controls
-- require "layouts/mini_playback" -- Keybow MINI media playback controls
require "layouts/adobe" -- Custom hotkeys for using Adobe programs

Can anyone see what I am doing wrong, as I am stumped? I used the built-in Lightroom layout to aid creating mine and I thought it was fine but apparently not.
