Hi everyone

I'm experiencing an issue where modifier key combinations don't work correctly when controlling a slave computer.

Setup:
- Input Director v2.3
- Master: Windows 10 (Turing)
- Slave: Windows 10

Problem:

When I transition to the slave and hold down the Win key,  sometimes together with ctrl or alt, while pressing another key (e.g., Win+Ctrl+E, Win+shift+Arrow,), the key works, but if i keep the modifiers pressed and re-press the key, it gets sent without the modifiers.

This is particularly problematic because I have many AutoHotkey/hotkey scripts that use Win as a modifier.

The issue doesn't occur when using the keyboard directly on either machine—only when controlling the slave through Input Director.

Any suggestions? Is there a setting that affects how modifier key states are transmitted?


Thanks,
Ram.
