Phil –
I have been using X-Mouse for several years now, mostly to speed up online grading. I mainly am adding commentary to Microsoft Word files.
So I’ve more or less mapped the “new comment” shortcut ALT + CTRL + “M” to a button, and the “highlight” shortcut ALT + CTRL + “H” to another.
And the new (odd!) behavior is that Word now behaves as though the “ALT” is still being held after I have released the button. For my own purposes, I can troubleshoot this…. and probably find a workaround. For sure, I have discovered that explicitly pressing and releasing ALT restores normal function in word.
I was bringing it to your attention largely because it is:
-
new behavior
-
that I noticed first on my home computer, but had not infected my work computer until I upgraded to 2.18.8 today. Sadly, I can’t tell you which version I was running previously… so I don’t know where the new “feature” got implemented!
So, anyway, FYI!
Thanks for all your work and coming up with this implementation in the first place!
