[BUG] - Macro recorder releases modifier key when numpad key is pressed

Post by Intuos »

When using the Macro option, I cannot get a Shift+Numpad key macro. Instead of holding the shift key down, like it would with a regular key, the recorder releases shift, then inputs the numpad key, after which it presses the shift key again. Please fix this.

Forgot to add, this occurs on Windows 10, with version 10.8.6.3431.

This is Windows, not our software. Please refer to this post on the blog of Microsoft's Raymond Chen (relevant part copied below).
If NumLock is on (as it usually is), then pressing a key on the numeric keypad while holding the shift key overrides NumLock and instead generates the arrow key (or other navigation key) printed in small print under the big digits.

(The shift key also overrides CapsLock. If you turn on CapsLock then hold the shift key while typing a letter, that letter comes out in lowercase.)
