Ctrl Key is sticky when Shapeshifter is active

Open Xyolyp opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

Describe the bug When shapeshifter is active I run into multiple issues with the ctrl key as I use it a lot. Firstly it sometimes "sticks" pressed (Windows thinks the key is pressed even though I already released it). This happens more often when I hit the ctrl key for a very very short time and release it instantly. Secondly, I can't jump around in text anymore by using ctrl and the arrow keys to skip an entire word. And last but not least it sometimes writes a single v instead of pasting when I hit ctrl + v very briefly.

Expected behavior I want to ctrl key to not stick pressed and I want the ability to use my ctrl key for everything else I use it for (text navigation, quick single word deletion, ...).

I have this issue also. It's fairly random and i have not found any reliable way to reproduce it. I have to hit the ctrl key multiple times to "unstick" it.

I am also on Windows 10

I had this issue today after using copy/paste normally. I got the last 5 mins of the log file it that helps at all : https://pastebin.com/53Bjgntj

Same problem. It's mostly unnoticeable so for a while it made me think it was something else.

You can clearly see in the logs that it uses keys to simulate the copy/paste functions. There's a line that ends with [LeftCtrl: Down] but there is a large delay before a [LeftCtrl: Up] command

Maybe the commands are sent too quickly, or not enough Up functions
