samclane / LIFX-Control-Panel

As LIFX no longer supports their Windows 10 app, I created an open-source alternative for controlling LIFX-brand smart lights.

Unicode Alt keystrokes are not working #100

Closed tort32 closed 2 years ago

tort32 commented 3 years ago

Describe the bug When running the app, Alt keystrokes for Unicode symbols stop working.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Run lifx_control_panel.exe
  2. Switch to an other app with text input (example Notepad.exe)
  3. Input Unicode sequence Alt+0153 (holding Alt key, press numpad digits, then release Alt key)
  4. Nothing appears in the text box

Expected behavior Unicode "Threadmark" symbol should appears after the keystroke.

Desktop:

Application is running normally, no keybinds are set by config. There is nothing particular in lifx-control-panel.log when reproducing the issue.

Looks like PyHook3.HookManager handling functions hinder system to process Unicode keystrokes. But I don't know this is incorrect event handling implementation or PyHook3 issue.

Since we switched to the keyboard library for keybinds, I'm wondering if this is still an issue.

Let me see if I can reproduce on the latest version.

No issue with the latest release 2.1.0. Thank you 🌞
