Certain combos not working #28

Closed freerror closed 3 years ago

Ctrl+Shift+X is not working in VS Code, and I assume elsewhere.

Ctrl+Alt+Del is also not working.

I believe the reason for this is highlighted in the readme provided with the current version:

Shortcuts that require Escape

Certain applications might require shortcuts such as Shift+Escape. These can still be launched with Dual Key Remap. To launch these, simply hold the modifier keys (e.g. Shift, Ctrl) first and press the CapsLock key last. Dual Key Remap will send the Shift+Escape key combination as expected!

The reason this works is because Dual Key Remap sends Escape or Ctrl depending on whether any other keys where pressed after CapsLock was held down, so tapping CapsLock as the last part of a sequence of keys will always send Escape.

Strangely other Ctrl+Shift combos are working in VS Codium, such as Ctrl+Shift+E to bring up the explorer.

Also pressing anything before the Ctrl doesn't work, Shift + Ctrl + something ignores Ctrl, but Ctrl + Shift + something works.

I'll take a look at this issue!
