[FIXED] bug with keyboard plugin + Lock Workstation

[junius]

I made a keyboard shortcut ctl+alt+L for the lock workstation action (My keyboard doesn't have a windows key for the builtin win+L)

When I log back in, the keyboard plugin thinks the ctl, alt, and L keys are still depressed. This has some funny results, like locking the workstation again if I press and release any key other than ctl, alt, or L.

I'm working around this by adding a 1-second delay before the lock workstation action, then I just have to be sure to release the keys before the delay is up.

edit:
this is on 0.3.5c build 908
a little xml config is attached

Thats a fairly old version. Have you tried the latest version to see if it may have been fixed? Click Here.

Same issue with 0.3.6.1428

Hey,

with the version 3.6.1428 and Windows XP SP2 i have the same bug in the keyboard-plugin.
I use the original Windows-Key.

After i logged in, Eventghost works when i press the keys L and windowskey separately.

Best regards

This is a pretty old bug. I can not find my posting about that anymore.
The same happens when pressing ctrl+alt+entf

According to bitmonster the reason is that applications can not monitor the keyboard when the computer is locked and because of the this plugin doesnot recognize releasing the keys.
Hay anyone the time and nerve to write a new keyboardplugin?

This was more work than it seems, because I actually had to re-arrange the whole code to even understand what I have done a year ago. It is not perfect, but should work for "Lock Workstation" from keyboard now. I guess standby through keyboard will have the same problem, but I currently can't try, since my workstation does not awake from standby. Some bad driver or so, but I don't care much, because I don't need standby.

@Bartman
Does Ctrl+Alt+Del initiate a System.SessionLock event at your machine? Then it should work with the fix now.

Now it works fine. Many thanks.

No and i still got events with ctrl, alt or delete with in from the keyboard plugin.

Sorry for unintentionally editing your post.
