Keybindings with CTRL/SHIFT/ALT after Thieves Guild update not saving

**Baertram** · 03/27/16, 08:54 AM

Hey there,

I just noticed that my keybindings which I've setup for addons (like MyStatus -> Change current status) are not saving properly anymore, if I use a special keybinding like
CTRL+F12
SHIFT+F12
ALT+F12

Before the thieves guild update this was working.
But after each reloadui/zone change etc. the keybind is not working anymore. If I check the controls settings afterwards, all special keybinds are gone somehow.

If I setup a normal keybind like F12 it is saving as it should.

Any ideas how to fix this again so we can use special keybinds with CTRL/SHIFT/ALT again?

I'm running out of keys

Maybe Emacs from Ayantir?

I don't have problems for my part, but yes, you'll need to have pChat or Emacs in order to have ctrl/alt/shift available for bindings.

pChat is active (one of my addons I'd never deactivate, thx Ayantir

)
Question:
Am I able to bind a keybind with CTRL+F12 e.g. if pChat is not active? Or is it not possible and the game won't recognize the special key CTRL/ALT/SHIFT?
I was able to press CTRL+F12 and the keybind saved it this way. It even worked until the next reloadui.

I'll test a bit more if it happens to all my chars or only some of them.

At default the game does not support modifiers like shift/alt/ctrl with keys/mousebuttons.
With AlphaGear i provide a general support for modifiers
