First , thank you for your work , and forgive me for my poor English .

I've tried everything , re-open or re-install , still the same.

Please try two keys shortcut in setting , like ctrl + c , shortcut won't work easily because all the windows keys are turbo can't hold the keys .

Please test it with keyboardtestutility. keyboardtestutility.zip

@imjinjia do you found a solution to this probleme ?

[imjinjia]

@ayyoubmiftah I didn't find a solution to this probleme. The author does not believe that SteamController has this problem，i think you should create an issue.

[ayufan]

I need more details, so if someone would have or record a video with it, it would make it easier for me to see what and when it happens :)

[imjinjia]

@ayufan hold any button on desktop mode , if you test it with keyboardtestutility , you will see the probleme.

[ayufan]

Sorry, I'm a little sceptical on running some random programs from internet. Can you describe different method of reproducing it?

[imjinjia]

@ayufan Hold an button , like a button or b button , and it just keep repeat.

[ayufan]

Yes, but what I should see?

[ayyoubmiftah]

@imjinjia @ayufan for example if you long click in Ybuton in steam deck to do long press in shift button for example but shift button (clicked down and up many times)

[ayufan]

It is expected that keys do generate repeats, this is how keyboard work. Some do should not like (SHIFT), but if you press Key-A it will generate first press and repeats.

So, maybe we should not generate repeats on function keys?

[ayyoubmiftah]

@ayufan yeah exactly , do you know how to do long press for 2 seconds in Key (for example :VK_A) with c#

[ayufan]

@ayyoubmiftah There's nothing such as long press with a correct interval. It is about events generated:

• WK_KEYDOWN
• and repeats if needed
• WK_KEYUP

[imjinjia]

I just want hold ctrl key to multi-select.

[ayyoubmiftah]

@ayufan ah ,Thanks so (we just work with repeated clicks) cause I need to simulate shift+tab or alt+enter or alt+tab or....... Xbtn=shift; Ybtn=alt; R1=tab .......

[ayufan]

Will fix it, fixed description here.

[ayyoubmiftah]

@imjinjia -------------I just want hold ctrl key to multi-select.----------- Me too

Thanks @ayufan

[ayyoubmiftah]

@imjinjia I found a solution with https://github.com/AntiMicroX/antimicrox it can do a long press emulation and work Great with SDT

[imjinjia]

@ayyoubmiftah thank you for telling me.

[ayyoubmiftah]

@imjinjia problem is solved . if you are familiar to c# work with this function :

[DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true)] static extern void keybd_event(byte bVk, byte bScan, int dwFlags, int dwExtraInfo);

public static void KeyPress(int keycode, int delay = 0) { keybd_event((byte)keycode, 0x0, 0, 0);// presses System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(delay); keybd_event((byte)keycode, 0x0, 2, 0); //releases }

or used like this

if(c.CUSTOMBTN.justPressed()) keybd_event((byte)keycode, 0x0, 0, 0); else if(c.CUSTOMBTN.pressed()) keybd_event((byte)keycode, 0x0, 2, 0);

and finally you can make a long click 👍 🏆 (Now just waiting for custom butons/profiles with interface )

@ayyoubmiftah Would you mind briefly explaining or pointing in the right direction about how to get these C# functions work? I'm a tech savvy and familiar with coding but that's all
