hotstrings broken by alt modifier

Hey guys ... and Agent Smith, I presume. (Has anyone else gotten into the habit of thinking of Keyclone as being played by Hugo Weaving?) I have an FTL setup more or less working on my five-druid wrecking machine. I'm having trouble with my Moonfire hotstrings not being passed as expected.

My current leader's Moonfire is bound as part of a macro on the '1' key, where [mod:ctrl] gives me Starfire, [nomod] gives me Wrath and [mod:alt] does Moonfire. All three spells work fine on the leader, and Wrath and Starfire work on the alts. The hidden key for Moonfire is 'U'. I've unbound every modifier-plus-'U', and nothing-plus-'U' is on the DNP list. I'm not trying to use right-hand modifier keys. The hotstrings follow the stickied FTL tutorial convention, e.g.:

(Ayomichi.kcl)
LALT+1 Moonfire.on.Ayomichi.target
LCTRL+LALT+U Moonfire.on.Tecuani.target

(Tecuani.kcl)
LSHIFT+LCTRL+U Moonfire.on.Ayomichi.target
LALT+1 Moonfire.on.Tecuani.target

The problem is, only ALT+U is being passed from whoever the current leader is to all of the alts. That is, Tecuani will hit alt+1, causing Moonfire.on.Tecuani.target to be passed to Ayomichi, who I'd expect would interpret this as LCTRL+LALT+U ... but he's getting ALT-U instead. I found this out by making several buttons and binding each with a modifier combination-plus-'U', and no matter the leader, the followers receive ALT-U.

It works if I make an unmodified '6', or even CTRL-6, my leader's Moonfire hotkey. Alt+6 does *not work, but again passes only ALT-U.

Am I looking at a bug here, or is there some likely error in my setup that I should be aware of? Has anyone else run into this? Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

i vaguely remember having a similar problem the other week, and i think it was caused by keyclone only being able to distinct between LSHIFT and RSHIFT correctly, when using LALT/RALT just ALT got sent ...

(i could be wrong though ...)

I believe this is an accurate and outstanding issue with the current build.

Yeah, I saw some discussion on that. I'm not trying to distinguish between LALT and RALT though ... it's just LALT that I'm using.

Change to JUST plain ALT and I believe it will work.

I'm hoping I'm just being dense and not seeing how this could be the issue, 'cause I want a fix :) ... but I don't think it's relevant. I'm using LALT (from the keymapping interface and the .kcl file itself, it seems your two choices are LALT and RALT), and basic ol' [mod:alt] in the macros. Definitely correct me if I'm wrong.

The weirdness is that Keyclone is either sending or receiving ALT-U for all the Moonfire hotstrings. SHIFT-CTRL-U becomes ALT-U, for example. This may not be exactly what's happening, but it *feels like using alt as the modifier on the primary key (alt-1) is overriding all the modifiers in the hotstring. Ctrl works properly. I don't know about shift as I don't use it in that macro.
