Changes between version 1 and 2 break modifier() behavior #794

I used to use a re-mapping to enter text snippets using a single key: For example to enter text like this: PasswoRD I would use the below macro and it used to work with version 1.x modify(Shift_L,key(p)).key(a).key(s).key(s).key(w).key(o).modify(Shift_L,key(r)).modify(Shift_L,key(d)) Now with version 2 it does not work (I did create a new macro manually not migrating configs).

Is this a bug, or is there some behavior change I am not aware of, is there an alternative way to do this, I need to output both upper and lowercase letters along with symbols like @

Below is some info about my environment:input-remapper 2.0.1 a012746a6b3d842943613fe80461bf50be3bc01d https://github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper python-evdev 1.4.0 DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=22.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=jammy DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS" wayland ubuntu:GNOME

That should work just fine. In fact the macro you provided works for me.

I wonder if there might be a race condition somewhere. We did reduce the pause we are doing between different keys so maybe your environment needs a longer pause between keys.

what is the result you are getting?

I can confirm the same problem: DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS" wayland ubuntu:GNOME And indeed the timeout helped:
