[Bug] Sticky Simulated Keys (during)

[coldlucas23]

I mapped my 4th button to activate Layer 2, and the Layer 2 Left Click to "Simulated Keys (during)r"
So when I press 4th button + Left Click (hold) it repeats r.

But if I release the 4th button BEFORE releasing the left click, the click will be sticky, and the r key will be pressed indefinitely, every time this happens I need to finish XMBC process in the task host.

Version used: 2.9.2
Windows 8.1

OK thanks, I will add it to the list and take a look.

It should be fixed in the latest beta. Give it try and let me know.

the Simulated Keys (repeat) is fixed
but the Simulated Keys (during) are still sticky

[phil]

ahhh OK I got the repeat and sticky repeat - must have missed the during - I'll sort that in the next build.
Just tried it here and I cant see quite what you mean - they both seem to be working - with the initial slower delay for the first key, and then repeat delay quick....

Can you provide a bit more detail? eg.exactly which method is not repeating "quickly"?

Thanks.

The function is working correctly, the issue is:
the mechanics of During is "press on down, release on up"
but if you change/revert layers while the key is down, the key function will change, and the "release on up" will have no effect

when this happens, the key will be forever "pressed on down" because it never received the "release on up" command

this bug can be fixed by adding a "release on layer change" on the mechanics of During.

Oh I thought I had done that in an earlier beta - OK it makes sense now so I will have a look and see what I can do Thanks.

How are you changing layers? I tried by setting one the mouse button to simulated repeat during and another button to change layer.

When holding the button the key is repeated until the other button is pressed. But maybe your changing layers using a different mechanism?

EDIT:

I have done the same as you, layer 2, button 4 = activate layer 2. Layer 2, button 3 = SimKey repeat m (during)
When I hold button 4 and then hold button 3, m is repeated, until I release button 4.....

What am I supposed to do with this: "demonstration: watch?v=4rwbXtSCG30"

What am I supposed to do with this: "demonstration: watch?v=4rwbXtSCG30"

It's a youtube video. This forum doesn't allow me to put a link, so replace the link of a video with "watch?v=4rwbXtSCG30" and see what I'm doing.

Ah fair enough. You should be able to post links after 5 posts (which you now have) - its to prevent spam bots! I'll try and take a look tonight when I get home from work.

Got it Beta 7 should fix - building it now.
