One keyboard shortcut not working #285

Open jankkm opened 1 year ago

jankkm commented 1 year ago

I am testing Rectangle Pro right now and I found something that might be a bug:

I use Hyperkey to map caps lock to ctrl + alt + cmd + shift and now I want to assign "hyper + q" to an action in Rectangle Pro but in the configuration it is not recognised so it cannot be saved. However, if I export the config, change it manually and then import the modified configuration file it does work.

"fillLeft" : {
      "keyCode" : 12,
      "modifierFlags" : 1966080
    },

Thanks for trying Rectangle Pro and reporting this. Some shortcuts are deemed by the shortcut recorder as conflicting with macOS shortcuts, even if that's not precisely the case. One thing you can do is check the box for "Remove shortcut recorder safeguards" in the settings tab. I'm probably going to make that the default setting in an upcoming release. Removing the safeguards might not fix this specific issue, and I'm glad you figured out a workaround regardless.

It is on my todo list to either polish up the existing shortcut recorder or replace it altogether at a certain point.

Hi Ryan, thanks for your quick response. I did not see the "Remove shortcut recorder safeguards" option before but enabling it does not change this specific behaviour. This problem does not seem to be unique to Rectangle either. iTerm (which is the only other application I tried) has it too.
