Need to re-press Alt when used in combination with certain keys

[rp1231]

I'm using keymapper in combination with komorebi, a tiling window manager. For keyboard shortcuts such as Alt + { Letter || Number Keys } I can just keep Alt pressed and the key combinations keep working fine. But when I have Alt pressed and then I press a key such as eg. Tab or the F row keys, I need to re-press the Alt key. Hope I've explained this well. Thanks

Post your config, otherwise it's difficult to debug. Please use a code block for formatting.

Here's my config:

Alt = AltLeft | AltRight

Alt{J} >> $(komorebic focus down)
Alt{K} >> $(komorebic focus up)
Alt{L} >> $(komorebic focus right)
(Alt Shift) BracketLeft     >> $(komorebic cycle-focus previous)
(Alt Shift) BracketRight     >> $(komorebic cycle-focus next)

# Move windows
(Alt Shift) H >> $(komorebic move left)
(Alt Shift) J         >> $(komorebic move down)

In many of the mappings you've got a space after the modifiers, is it intentional (e.g. you press the following key in sequence and not while holding the modifiers down)?

Do all of the mappings work as expected besides the issue you described?

[ristomatti]

To clarify my question, is this what you intended to do:

# Workspaces
Alt 1                 >> $(komorebic focus-workspace 0)
Alt 2                 >> $(komorebic focus-workspace 1)

...rather than this:

# Workspaces
Alt{1}                 >> $(komorebic focus-workspace 0)
Alt{2}                 >> $(komorebic focus-workspace 1)

No that is not what I intended to do: What Intended was indeed:

# Workspaces
Alt{1}                 >> $(komorebic focus-workspace 0)
Alt{2}                 >> $(komorebic focus-workspace 1)

But despite correcting the config to this, the problem remains.

Adding Alt >> Alt at the top of my configuration seems to have solved the problem.
