Does not work in Visual Studio 2017 #8

Open MaciejLisCK opened 6 years ago

When I go to Visual Studio 2017 and press space I receive tons of spaces insted of have ability to navigate.

I've just solved this, as I have the same problem with VS2017 & 2019 myself.

I bet you're running Visual Studio as Administrator.

TouchCursor (which you're not running as admin) cannot intercept keypresses which are going to an app running as admin. This applies to any app running with higher priveleges than your current user.

Solutions: a) Stop running visual studio as admin (not possible for some I know). b) Run touchcursor as administrator.

Thanks for posting the workarounds @wooger --I really didn't know where to start with solving that. @MaciejLisCK, does this solve the problem for you?

I don't know if this is related, but had the same problem with SQL Server Management Studio, and running Touchcursor as and administrator solves it. Thank you!
