Shortcut keys not working properly

[dresis]

I downloaded Formation Studio in an environment I created with Anaconda. When I open it, it seems as if Formation Studio always seems to be thinking the 'Alt' key is being pressed, so I run into two issues:

• Some regular shortcut keys (copying, running preview, saving the file, etc) do not work because it believes Alt key is being pressed
• When I press a regular key (say the letter 'u' as I am typing regular text), the shortcut key 'Alt+U' (undocking all windows) gets executed. Similarly, other shortcuts get executed the same way (quitting preview when only pressing F5, entering settings when only pressing 's' etc)

I was able to replicate this in 3.8 and 3.11. Also this is something I have seen in 2 machines of mine already, thinking maybe one of them had a broken keyboard lol

Thank you for using Formation Studio. Which OS are you using?

[dresis]

From the two machines I used, one had Windows 10, the other Windows 11

@andeyv I will have to look deeper into the issue. I started developing a possible fix today but in the mean time you can either:

• Go to File > settings > Key Map and right click on any item having a "Alt - *" binding and change shortcut or remove shortcut if you do not need it
• If you don't really rely on the shortcuts you can disable shortcuts entirely right there on File > settings > Key Map

i am also having this issue, specifically with the alt key

@dresis @Razieleron Could you try installing the 0.6.x-fix branch to see if the issue is resolved? I want to be sure the issue is resolved before publishing the new release. You can use the commands below.

pip uninstall formation-studio
pip install git+git://github.com/ObaraEmmanuel/[email protected]#egg=formation-studio

I have published the release so updating to the latest version should hopefully resolve the issue.

Thank you! Sorry for not being able to check
