You need to see Help for OnEvent> There you will find the following information about OnEvent> modifier keys.

0: No modifier key
1: SHIFT key must also be pressed
2: CONTROL key must also be pressed
3: ALT key must also be pressed
4: SHIFT + ALT keys must be pressed
5: CONTROL + ALT keys must be pressed
6 SHIFT + CONTROL keys must be pressed
7: CONTROL + ALT + SHIFT keys must also be pressed
8: Windows key must also be pressed

Based on this info, your OnEvent Line should look like this:
OnEvent>Key_Down,VK119,2,MainMacro
