<Toggle> locking up key broadcasting?

[Freddie]

Are you talking about the following behavior?

-- You have "Clear modifiers before executing hotkey" checked on Send Mode Settings.

-- Then (for example) you press Shift and while holding Shift, you press X to trigger <Hotkey Shift X>. The hotkey works okay.

-- Then, without releasing Shift, you press X again to trigger the hotkey again. But <Hotkey Shift X> doesn't get triggered.

If that's what you're refering to, it has nothing to do with <Toggle>. It has to do with the behavior of "Clear modifiers before executing hotkey" on Send Mode Settings. HotkeyNet isn't locking up. It's just regarding the second press of X as X by itself (without Shift) because "Clear Modifiers" is checked.

No, the issue is with me running my toggle command (Ctrl F7 or F8), driven by a macro created on a G-key on my G15 keyboard (so it's not an issue of the modifier clearing), and randomly HKN seems to get confused and doesn't lock up entirely (I can still click the edit, reload, and load script buttons), but it never shows that it broadcasts any more keystrokes (in the upper left box) until I restart the program (despite showing that it is registering the keystrokes in the upper right box).

I don't recall anybody reporting anything like this before, so I don't know the answer. You'll have to do some experiments to figure out the cause.

I would begin with the following tests:

First, I would remove all the toggles from one of the problem hotkeys and see if the problem still occurs. If so, you'll know the problem has nothing to do with toggles but rather has some other cause.

Second, I would change one of the problem hotkeys so it's triggered by a single key press instead of by a key combination. For example, rename <Hotkey Shift X> to <Hotkey F1>. If that elminates the problem, you'll know it has to do with an interaction between HotkeyNet and the sequence of key events that your G15 is sending to the operating system.

I'll give that a shot. Thank you for looking into it for me.
