QS ignores certain keystrokes in first pane

[highfalutin]

Sometimes, Quicksilver does not register the typing of certain keyboard letters in the first pane. For example, it will ignore the "s" key: when I invoke QS and type "safari", only "afari" appears and QS searches for catalog items matching "afari".

Another example, with QS treating the "w" key strangely: When I invoke QS and type "download" (at normal speed), "do" appears normally, then nothing seems to happen when I hit the "w" key, but the rest of the word ("nload") appears on its own as if text entry had been reset (as if I had pressed the delete key).

Restarting QS fixes the problem temporarily.

Changing to a different keyboard layout (for example, Dvorak) does not change which keys are affected. In other words, if I am having a problem with the letter "w" in the USA keyboard layout, and I switch to Dvorak, I type a different key to get "w", and "w" appears in Quicksilver, but pressing the original key still results in problem behavior.

I have noticed this problem with the s and w keys, and not with others, but I can't guarantee these are the only problem letters.

Using: QS 1.0.0 (4000) on 10.8.3

I'm also having trouble with 's' in Dvorak: it doesn't seem to have any effect and is ignored in searching.

'v' turns it into calculator mode:

'w' adds a little icon on the left page:

and 'z' expands the left-pane object but like 's' isn't used as part of the search string.

Also using 1.0.0 (4000) on 10.7.5

Ah—this seems to entirely be an issue with Dvorak. Works fine for me in Qwerty. QS seems to be honoring the Qwerty keybindings for s, v, w, and z even when the keyboard is set to Qwerty, which are ; . , / respectively.

• 1 same here. I have a dvorak layout and sometimes Quicksilver does not respect it. When I press my W key it treats the input as an ",".

Restarting Quicksilver solves the issue.

Sounds very related to 1482 which is being worked on in 1147

Should be fixed by #2594
