Won't record a specific action

Describe the bug On Windows, using version 1.4.1., using PyMacroRecord combined with Capture2Text, an OCR software that takes screenshot to extract text from the screenshot.

When recording the macro, everything works, but when the macro plays back, it doesn't record the "taking a screenshot" action.

To Reproduce On the Capture2Text software, the action to take a screenshot is binded to my "X" key.

  • 1: move the mouse where i want to take screenshot
  • 2: press "X" key.
  • 3: drag the mouse to define the screenshot area
  • 4: left click to take the screenshot

But, at step (2), there is no screenshot area, as if the key "X" was not pressed. I've tried another shortcut, such as ctrl + X, same result.

Probably a weird interaction with the shortcuts of the OCR software?

Cheers, really cool tool you're building!

Is your "X" key or any other key are correctly pressed on text, or is it only from this software?
