Arrow keys sticking?
« on: September 28, 2015, 03:34:22 am »
I'm not sure if this is a GroovyMame issue, a problem with my installation of Arch Linux or my IPAC-2, has anyone come across an issue where if you hold down CTRL and ALT in some order with an arrow key, that key sticks on until you do the same thing again?

After an insane amount of googling, I never did find the reason for this. My iPac started refusing to let me re-program it (linux and windows utils wouldn't recognise it anymore, though it still worked as a keyboard) so I bought a new one wondering if the interface was the cause.

It wasn't, brand new one, same issue so I still suspect it is something related to the window manager, OS, or an accessibility feature running.

I got around it by reprogramming buttons 1 and 2 to be unused keys rather than L CTRL and L ALT. Just thought I'd post in case anyone else came across the same issue.
