This happens to me sometimes at work, but that's because I have a cheap Fujitsu 
keyboard where the CTRL button gets stuck randomly. CTRL+TAB switches tabs.

I have the same thing happen daily.  Sometimes multiple times in the same day, 
as does a coworker.  I've attached the log from today's first foray into 
"broken tab mode".  If you need further log files I'll be glad to provide them. 
 I'm running Windows 7 SP1 w/ current updates and using 1.3.0.11.  I've had the 
same problem with previous versions.

There are shortcuts burnt into superputty for windows style switch tabs.  I 
suspect those shortcuts (control-tab, control-shift-tab) are causing issues.  

I'll take a look and see what I can find.  At worse, I'll make it an option we 
can disable for debugging.

I am experiencing the same issue.

I use CTRL-T to open the "Open Session" window (excellent feature btw!) and 
after every new session is opened I have to press CTRL again or the it gets 
stuck in a depressed state.

If I, for example, try to type "git" it types "gi" and opens the "Open Session" 
window.

Restarting SuperPuTTY is the only way I can get it reset.

I use the default CTRL-TAB and CTRL-SHIFT-TAB to switch tabs.

SuperPuTTY is started with
 "C:\Program Files (x86)\SuperPutty-1.3.0.11\SuperPutty.exe" -cygterm -
to open it without the Sessions and Layouts panes and all sessions are started 
using "Open Session".

I hope the attached log file will be of use.

I constantly run into this as well.  Please give us a way to simply disable 
this functionality outright.  I'm perfectly happy clicking between my terminal 
sessions and having ALT-TAB switch out of Superputty entirely.  This is really 
the biggest problem I have with an otherwise excellent tool.

ok, will look into it.  Starting up 1.4 betas soon.  Will try to put in a fix 
or workaround to this issue.

Confirmed the hot key handling code is causing a keyup after launching a 
shortcut to get lost.

Working on a solution...

1.4.0.0 has a rework of the hot key handling which should fix this issue.  
please give it a try.

Great, thank you.  I'll give it a try and report back.

The problem is gone.

However, the SuperPuTTY shortcuts (ctrl-tab, ctrl-shift-tab and my custom 
ctrl-t to open a new session) now overrides all other applications, so trying 
to switch tab in Chrome sets focus to and switches tab in SuperPuTTY, in the 
background.

Ha!  Looks like all the shortcuts override all other apps.  Not quite what I 
had in mind...will look into it.

The original problem seems to be resolved for me too.  I went all day without 
having to restart due to the problem which never happened before.  Thanks for 
the fix!

I'm sorry to report that I spoke to soon.  I just had 1.4.0.0 go into "broken 
tab mode".

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
ok, i have a different fix for the issue which shouldn't override hot keys 
globally.

1.4.0.1 

give it a shot and let me know.

Sorry for the lack of response on this topic.  This still happens to me 
frequently with 1.4.0.1.

It's been happening constantly for me as well.

Please, please provide a way to simply disable the hot key functionality 
entirely.  I don't even use that feature and this is a great tool aside from 
this issue.

Great, thank you!  Do you guys have a donation link anywhere?  I would be more 
than happy to contribute some funds, as I use SuperPutty daily.

As a workaround, as rafi suggested, I'm going to add an option to disable the 
control-tab/control-shift-tab handling.  I'm guessing what's happening is 
control is getting stuck for whatever reason.  

Brian-do you have a procedure to reproduce?  Is it random, happening after a 
using a few shortcuts (e.g. open session) or does it happen immediately and 
consistently?  I can't reproduce while testing.

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Unfortunately there is no procedure other than the initial reporter had.  
Randomly throughout the day I try tab completing and discover that hitting just 
the tab key causes me to cycle through all open windows.  I don't use any of 
the shortcuts to open sessions or intentionally switch windows.  Once this 
happens my only recourse is to close Superputty and restart it.  This happens 
to me on both my laptop and my desktop.    Like Rafi, just disabling those 
features will work for me since I don't use them anyway.  Thanks for looking 
into this.  This is a great tool.

This issue is quite frustrating, I can be in the middle of working on 
something, then for no reason at all (well none that I can see) The tab 
completion stops working and it cycles through my open connections. 

I also do not have any global shortcuts and nothing is bound to tab.

Adding options to disable the function...will be in build 1.4.0.2 beta

Original comment by btatey...@gmail.com on 19 Feb 2013 at 3:17

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I was still seeing this problem on 1.4.0.2; however, disabling the function did 
fix the problem. I will just leave the function off for now. Thank you!

I've disabled the tab functionality is 1.4.0.2 and I have not had the problem 
occur since.  Thank you very much! It's a huge help not to have to close out 
Superputty several times a day.

FYI, I disabled the function and enabled it on the keyboard shortcuts and it 
fixed the issue. Now I can seamlessly use my ctrl+tabs without issues.

Thanks to the community for reporting and fixing this issue.  Downloaded 
superPutty for the first time the other week and its a great little app.  
Started to have the tab issue and glad I came here for the answer.  All good 
now.  Keep up the good work.
