Stuck modifier keys

When switching active PCs with Hotkey

from Stardock Forums

Whenever I switch to a different PC with Hotkeys any modifier keys I use in it get stuck.

Fix: hit the modifier keys used again after switching.

Any solution for this in sight?

Sometimes this can happen if you use Ctrl + Alt + Del to unlock a Secondary.  Make sure to use Ctrl + Alt + Backspace, while the cursor is on any Secondary, to unlock it.

Thanks for your reply!

My pcs are never locked, at worst asleep.

Sorry, I just found out I was (partially) wrong, but I have more precise details:

Currently I got Ctrl+Alt+Shift+1 and Ctrl+Alt+Shift+2 and Ctrl+Alt+Shift+3 set up as hotkeys.

I've set it up so that I can switch from PC1 to 2 via the screen edge or hotkeys, and PC3 is only accessible via hotkey. When I switch from 1 to 2 with hotkey, the modifier keys are fine. But when I switch from PC1 to PC3 (via hotkey) and back, and then switch to PC2 via screen edge the modifiers will be stuck.

While hitting and releasing Ctrl+Alt+Shift will fix the problem, it won't work while on PC1, I need to switch to PC2, and then hit Ctrl+Alt+Shift there. Or use hotkeys to switch to 2 and not screen edge.

Ill see if I can repro that exactly, and it's not that I have not seen it on occasion like you, its just easily resolved as you have noted.

In any event, thank you for the report.

I've given it lots and lots of time to try and work with it, and I wish I could come to the same conclusion as you did, "easily resolved"...

I've ended up disabling the seamless feature, no matter how much I wish to use it, it's just far too much hassle, going purely with hotkeys now.

I hope you get around to fixing this, I'd really like to use the seamless feature in conjunction with hotkeys. The way it is now that only works for me without using modifier keys on the hotkeys.

Or if this is something you can't reliably reproduce, let me know if I can be of any further assistance, unfortunately my regular use scenario is capable of reproducing the issue 100% of the time.

The seamless feature was one of the features I wanted when I bought Multiplicity, so I don't mind putting in some extra effort to try and solve the issue.
