AltGr+2 triggers desktop change #18

Hello,

The '@' key in Spanish keyboards is acceded with the keyboard combination Alt Gr + '2', but VirtualDesktopManager changes the desktop when used. I'm afraid with this issue the software is useless at least for all Spanish users. BTW, great work!

I suggest to absolutely avoid any keyboard hook. I believe is not necessary.

Regards,

The problem arises if I made any modification on the settings window. It disappears if I close-init the session. Today, -first time it occurs-, just after login the '@' key did not work at all. I had to close-init session and problem solved.

This issues, where shortcuts of this tool conflict with characters (eg: '@') on your keyboard, only exists from version 1.9.0. I suggest using version 1.8.0 until the problem is fixed.

Finally Use the option "Use alternate key combination" replace ctrl+alt (or alt gr)+1234... with Shift+Alt+1234...

@m0ngr31 if you are using a keyboard hook then this issues arises when you create listeners to the KeyPress event.

@iozuniga keyboard hook is important in an app like this otherwise you are very limited in which hotkeys you can use and WIN is not an option. You need to trust the app because it's one line away from logging keys. You can avoid international key issues doing what I mentioned above.

I have made a change for this that has a checkbox for enabling hotkeys or not in my cloned repo here, if anyone is interested.
