TV remote enter not recognized
Hi! Thank you for making this wonderful launcher. I'm using it on mini pc running windows 11. I've bought pulse eight usb cec adapter and it works well. The issue is that flex launcher doesn't recognize the enter key. I've started debug mode and left, right etc is recognized, but enter is not seen in the logs at all. Windows uses this button with no problems. I've also installed AHK and ran a script with keyboard hook to see how Windows sees this button and it's the enter key.
Can you help please?
I've pressed: Right Left Up Down Enter - five times ESC

I've sorted this out by using AHK. Enter:: { Send "{Enter}" } That fixes the issue for some reason.
Thanks for the update and sorry I didn't get back earlier. Glad you were able to find a solution.
Since the launcher was not (previously) receiving any keyboard enter press, as evidenced by the log, I'm going to attribute this to a setup problem and close this issue now.
