I loaded your settings file and hotkey file into build 104, and unfortunately they worked perfectly fine on my pc. So we're no closer to finding the bug.

I'm trying to think of how to diagnose this long distance. The problem is affecting both the screen display and whether the command gets carried out. Those things are done in separate threads. I'm trying to think of what could affect both threads. Not a whole lot.

Well, let's try stepping through the chain of events as much as we can.

1. Press load hotkeys and type in the name of a non-existent file (just type random letters).

2. Press "Open." HotkeyNet will fail to find the file, so none will be loaded.

3. Press "Show loaded hotkeys" to be sure no hotkeys are loaded. The little window should say "Number of hotkeys: 0."

4. Press Ctrl. You should see <Ctrl> in the upper right. Let me know if you don't.

5. Press R You should see <R> in the upper right. Let me know if you don't.

6. Assuming you see those things, load your real hotkey file.

7. Press Ctrl and R again. Do you still see <Ctrl> and <R> in the upper right when you press them? If not, let me know.
