Keyboard Maestro Conflicts

[krisniles]

Describe the bug

When using Keyboard Maestro, I have triggers that I type which automatically expand into more text. For instance, if I type ":EM", the text is replaced with my email address. When the trigger I am typing contains a capital letter, after expansion, MOS operates as if the shift key is pressed down. (I have shift set as my vertical / horizontal scrolling toggle key.)

The OS and typing are unaffected (i.e. the system does not register that the shift key is down), it is only MOS that thinks the shift key is being held down. The only way to "release" the shift key is to expand text again, and MOS then releases the shift key. It can be reliably reproduced every time.

To Reproduce

1. Set the Toggle Key in MOS to shift.
2. Create a trigger in Keyboard Maestro that requires pressing shift - (i.e. ":TEST")
3. Type the trigger.
4. Attempt to scroll using MOS.
5. MOS scrolls horizontally, not vertically.

Expected behavior

1. MOS horizontal/vertical scrolling should not be affected by Keyboard Maestro expansion.

@krisniles Thx for your feedback

The hotkey identification module has a known problem. The new version has already rewritten the module and may fix this problem. I will release a test version for testing in the near future. You can try it later.
