Global Keybinds using pass / send_shortcut broken in Hyprland 0.55 (does not send key release?)

[5ila5]

I have basically the same issue as @UrmanGit in #10351 (comment), but I wanted to start a new thread as the rest of the other thread seems to be focused on another problem.

My old config worked fine

bindn = ,dead_circumflex, sendshortcut,,dead_circumflex, class:discord
bind = ,XF86Launch6, sendshortcut,,dead_circumflex, class:discord
bind = ALT, KP_Add, pass, class:discord
bind = ALT, KP_Subtract, pass, class:discord
bind = ALT, KP_1, pass, class:discord

but my equivalent lua config

hl.bind("dead_circumflex",
    hl.dsp.send_shortcut({ mods = "", key = "dead_circumflex", window = "class:discord" }))
hl.bind("XF86Launch6", hl.dsp.send_shortcut({ mods = "", key = "dead_circumflex", window = "class:discord" }))
hl.bind("ALT + KP_Add",
    hl.dsp.pass({ window = "class:discord" }))
hl.bind("ALT + KP_Subtract",
    hl.dsp.pass({ window = "class:discord" }))

hl.bind("ALT + KP_Subtract",
    hl.dsp.pass({ window = "class:discord" })
)

seems not to send a key release event

When pressing dead_circumflex it is passed but never released, as this is my discord push to mute button I get muted but never unmuted.

Pressing ALT + KP_Add seems to do nothing when discord is not focused but when discord is focused it spams - until I hit escape

I tested this against xev and noticed that it only sends a KeyPress but no KeyRelease event:

hl.bind("dead_circumflex", hl.dsp.send_shortcut({ mods = "", key = "dead_circumflex", window = "title:Event Tester" }))

xev -event keyboard

Yeah, it's annoying, because it's the only thing missing to make push to talk (!) actually work!

please test #14600

[UrmanGit]

Yep, that works!
Tested the same way as in #10351 (comment)
