Input dropping with multiple modifier keys pressed

nmncnvn

I'm using Godot on Windows and I'm trying to fix or figure out why it is that whenever I hold down the keys Shift and Alt, the S key doesn't register in my game.
I assume it might be from a hotkey issue with Windows or something but I have no clue

I'm using Godot 4.5 but I have had the same issue Godot 4.3 as well
Its not that big of an issue but I want to figure out how to fix this so if something like this pops up again then I'll have some idea of whats happening.

I have another project in Godot and the same thing was happening there so I recreated it in a smaller project and the same thing happens.
Here is a video of it happening here with pretty much the whole project showing, you can basically just look at my screen if you need to try to recreate it

nmncnvn its a You problem buddy, works on my windows..

You probably have some app open that hogs that hotkey..

Same happens to me when i have keepass open, the alt key hot keys stop working.

kuligs2 Thanks i got it figured out now, the issue was Microsoft Edge
If Edge is open at all then it hogs the hotkey alt + shift + s

I could have sworn that I didn't have any app opened that would hog hotkeys like that back when I was trying to fix this, but I had opened Edge earlier because the browser I was using didn't have webgl enabled or something and so after I was done with that I closed edge and just assumed that because it wasn't in the tray that it wasn't open at all but it was still in task manager the whole time.
The issue stopped happening as soon as i closed edge through task manager.
It's still weird because outside of edge alt+shift+s does literally nothing so I don't think it has a reason to completely hog it

If there's a way in Godot to stop apps from completely hogging and blocking hotkeys altogether then I would probably like to use that in my game, because as minor as they might be it would still be annoying as a player to get problems like that.

nmncnvn maybe you should open issue on github for godot, i would assume that foreground process would have priority when it comes to inputs being hogged.. this seems very broken ...

Maybe move to linux?

I remember back when only combos that include the windows key were allowed to be active without the app in the foreground.

Was a good idea.
