Can not get lower case 'h' from keyboard

[alcarcdr]

I just installed Redux Dev Tools Chrome Extension and am trying it out with a LinkedIn Learning course and ran in to a problem.

The dispatcher window does not accept the lower case h key. When I press this key on any connected keyboard nothing happens. (Uppercase H works and I can type lower case elsewhere and copy and past, I can also use the ALT+0104.)

The issue only happens with Redux DevTools instance selected from the F12 Dev Tools menu. If lunched from the icon this issue does not occur.

I disabled all other extension installed and restarted Chrome and this did not resolve the problem.

As example I was unable to type 'This' in the following:

{ type: 'CREATE_TODO', payload: {text: "Tis is a test!" } } Redux Dev Tools: Version 2.17.2

System Details are: Google Chrome is up to date Version 93.0.4577.63 (Official Build) (64-bit)

I have raised this issue here https://github.com/zalmoxisus/redux-devtools-extension/issues/815#issue-993803485 as well. I am unsure as to where the correct place is to raise issues with Redux Dev Tools

I had the same issue of my h key not working: https://github.com/reduxjs/redux-devtools/issues/841. Edit: I am on Pop!_OS

Fascinating bug, unfortunately i cannot reproduce it. If you are able to do more investigation that would be great. Can you try disabling all of your other extensions just to make sure its not being caused by another extension? What OS are you on?

And, yes, this repository is now the home of both the underlying Redux DevTools as well as the Chrome extension that wraps it. My intention is to obtain access to the redux-devtools-extension repository at some point and clean up/transfer relevant issues, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

I've just released the 3.0 beta Chrome Extension as a separate extension. Can you check it out and see if the bug persists: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/redux-devtools-next/oamphgegmigmlgkdnijmeomjenbmkbdg? Thanks!

I work on a different extension, and I've run into this problem with chrome on Manjaro linux too. I think this is not a redux devtools bug, but a chrome bug

Interesting. Did some Googling, not sure but these could possibly be related:

• https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=100251

For those who have the issue, is it only the h key that doesn't work or are there other keys as well (specifically c and v)?

I did some looking up and ther'es some keydown event listener being attached to the iframe that holds the extension.

I've tried reaching some chrome devtools members on twitter about this

I've submitted an issue to the chrome bug tracker with some extra information I was able to find by looking into the sources https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1253948

I am also experiencing this issue in windows 11. I cannot type h letter in dispatcher which is in the redux devtools.
