autokey - issue #148
autokey on Host Ubuntu makes strange behavier on Guest Virtualbox WinXP
What steps will reproduce the problem? 1.config autokey to make PageUp to be Home. 2.Open Guest OS windows xp. 3.Press Shift+PageUp to select line on WinXP.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Expected: Select line. But the PageUp sometimes still means pageup in WinXP.(some application, such as notepad, means home) Even worse, after that(press shift+'home'), it makes content selected unexpected when you move the cursor.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Host OS: Ubuntu 11.04 + AutoKey (GTK UI) 0.71.3 + VirtualBox 4.1.2 r73507 Guest OS: Windows XP

Posted on Oct 1, 2011 by Swift HippoIf i only use Home(real key is PageUp) on windows xp, it's OK. If i use Shift+Home, the problem reproduced.
I have configed AutoKey to make Shift+PageUp to be Shift+Home.

Posted on Oct 2, 2011 by Swift BirdBecause Shift+Home is treated as a separate hotkey to just Home by itself. Otherwise you would have problems with hotkeys firing concurrently (e.g. if you had configured one for Shift+Home and one for just Home and you press Shift+Home).
