Hello,
So i was messing with the simkeys and the abort with a specific key settings, and while using {PRESS}{LMB} or {LMBD} (basicaly anything that lets the button pressed) i simply canot abort the simkeys
Like this: {LMBD}{HOLD:10}a{HOLD:20}d{LMBU}
However if i write any mouse key before like {LMB} makes it possible to abort the simkeys
{LMB}{LMBD}{HOLD:10}a{HOLD:20}d{LMBU} or {RMB}{LMBD}{HOLD:10}a{HOLD:20}d{LMBU}
I wonder if this is intentional and if there is a better way to avoid it

@𝓭𝓲𝓮𝓽 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐢 Not sure its intentional (probably not) but if you are aborting after leaving the button down, then the button could get stuck down. Not sure why adding {LMB} in front would make any difference... What actually happens when it is aborted?

It stops the simkeys entirely
but I can activate it again

Isnt that what it is supposed to do? So whats the problem exactly?

the problem is that it gets stuck down when pressed (wich maybe shouldnt happen because the point of the abort is to stop the simkeys instantly)

the problem is solved with the {LMB} in the start, but the other way should work too
h4b2j7k — Today at 20:21
but doesn't
we are just confused now about why that happen, since the {LMB} is just a placeholder in the code and we don't really need it to make the code work naturally, just to make it stop

So the three abort options (when another button is pressed, when a key is pressed or with a specific key) are intended to effectivly stop/kill the thread processing the simkey queue. Now I cant remember off the top of my head, if it "reverses"/releases the key state (I suspect not - I suspect it just stops where it is - hence keys potentially getting stuck - but I will have to go study the code (its been quite some time since I looked at it)...
I have no idea why adding the {LMB} would make any difference.... And to find out will take me some time to get my head space "back in XMBC" (which I dont have right now).... I will raise a bug on my tracker to investigate this, but cant provide any timescales - I guess before I release 2.21 but thats rather open ended!)How are you triggering the abort (what options are checked?)

Alright
I trigger with - on the keyboard, but i have tried other keys too and its the same

ok, so the specific key option (just wanted to know so I can try and reproduce it when I find some time)
