(Revised and Repost) Shortcuts using function keys don't work when the OC window is focused

[阳熙来]

Hi Milos,

I have discovered that Fn key shortcuts (e.g. F3) shortcuts assigned to other softwares do not work when the OC window is focused, even if they are unchecked in the OC settings. FYI, it works when combined with an alt or sth, but won't effect as a single function key.

Please fix this issue.

Which other software

eudic

Installed eudic in Windows Sandbox, and it worked (opened window) with default F9 key; I switched to F3 an it also worked (didn't change OC settings)

Thanx for testing the issue. It enligntened me to  delete OC completely and reinstall it, and the problem solved naturually. Besides, it runs more fluent and faster.

Maybe everyone need to reinstall OC regurally?

Not sure why would that work as reinstalling shouldn't do anything. Reinstalling fixes software which makes changes to Windows Registry and that litters files all over system32 and other system folders ("dll hell"), but OC is self contained. If you didn't delete settings folder from AppData, I can't even blame it on any wrong settings, so reinstall would just put the same files back. But I am glad it is fixed.

Actually, what I meant by "reinstall" is to first back up the settings, resources, and templates folders. Then, completely delete all the files related to OC. Next, download and install OC again. Finally, restore the previously customized settings using the three folders mentioned above. Not the "reinstall" option in OC its own~

MSI does its own thing when you install and uninstall and I don't know what exactly as it is a black box, so maybe.

(I pronounce "MSI" as "messy" - a messy installer).

One way to test what is different (someone else or some other time) is copy entire program folder to some other location, do the uninstall/reinstall, and then use something like WinMerge to compare old folder from that other copied location and the new install (must be the same version to be sure comparison will work)
