Single modifier activation not working on 1.2.0

[D-elias]

I have the single modifier key set to "Shift". It works fine to activate QS on 1.1.3 but not on the newest 1.2.0

Can you please tell us:

• Which app in particular this does/doesn’t work in (or maybe just ‘all’)
• Your OS version
• If any of the other single modifier options work (ctrl, cmd etc)
• What happens if you change the hotkey settings (modifier, number of times) in the prefs, then change them back

For what it’s worth, I can’t get it to fail with any key, with or without a restart.

But I will add…

It seems I have to hit the modifier twice on occasion. This seems to only happen after switching apps, but nowhere near every time. I’ve been seeing this for months but just now discovered something additional: Single-modifier always seems to work immediately after switching apps via the mouse or a trackpad swipe, but after switching with the keyboard (⌘⇥), it has to be hit twice. After that, it will work until you switch apps again.

Does that describe your problem, or is it not working at all?

Thanks for the solution. I changed it to "double Shift" and it worked, then back to single and it stopped again. Switching it from control then back to Shift did the trick. All is working now.

OK. I’ll open a separate issue about what I described now that I’ve finally figured out how to reproduce it.

The single/double shift and other single modifiers only work on the left side of the keyboard. The right shift and others on the right side of the keyboard are not working to launch QS. This is on the both the bluetooth and internal keyboards after a restart and reseting/changing the preferences. This problem is global on OSX 10.9. It completely goes away when I run the older 1.1.3

Confirmed.

Yep, if you look at the top of QSModifierKeyEvents.m you’ll see only the left hand keys are defined.

Not sure of the best way about going about it, maybe we’ll need to re-gut how it works :(

P.S. I’m away from internet atm hence my radio silence
