@zeyugao
Thank you for reporting it.
Regarding clipboard manager, it uses ctrl+v for inserting and you have ctrl remapped to alt. So the system receives Alt+V as a result. To solve it add a shortcut remapping alt+v->crtl+v.

Regarding Display the location of mouse when clicking CTRL, this should've been possible with the alt key as it is remapped to ctrl. But with the current design, it's not possible.

Note: To fix Display the location of mouse when clicking CTRL we shouldn't have any strokes between remapped ctrl down and ctrl up. For now, we release origin key after the remapped one is pressed.
