Just started with Octopus, I've set up everything exactly as the guide and it works like a charm, well until i want to edit my macros. Because when i want to write something like [target=focus] I have to use the Alt Gr key to type out the "[]". When i press Alt Gr almost every single button on my keyboard get's screwed up. I tried the "AltGr fix" inside the Octopus program, which did nothing but stopping my key's to stop broadcasting. I've also searched the forum but found nothing regarding this.

Anyway, does anyone have a clue what's causing this problem, and possibly, how to workaround / fix it?

So you want to write [ ] without messing it up? well I have never used Alt gr :O I use Ctrl+alt you should try that :)

Well the [] was just an example, Everytime i hit the Alt Gr button my buttons on the keyboard stop responding, like Shift and Ctrl stop working, i cannot Alt+Tab, practically every "special action" button stops responding, only fixable by a forced computer restart. All this happen while Octopus is running, closing the application doesn't fix anything.

I hope this explain's the issue a little bit better, I'm going to continue searching the web to see if i can find any solution.

I presume you've tried tapping each of the keys once to "unstick" them.

Haha, I have no clue what you said but you made me think. After a bit of searching I found the Passthrough-list, added the button and, voila!

Thank you for making me confused, it really helped :P.

Edit: My keyboard is no longer screwed up by the Alt Gr button, instead it stopped broadcasting... This is really odd.
