[MacOS] Directional Move does not work with any key or mouse bind #3321

Description

On macOS, the Directional Move feature cannot be used.

It can be assigned to any key or mouse button in the settings.

The binding registers correctly in the menu.

However, pressing the key/mouse button in a match does nothing.

This happens with both keyboard keys (e.g. V, F) and mouse side buttons (e.g. Mouse5).

The issue persists regardless of input settings (Raw Input on/off, Fullscreen vs Borderless, etc.).

Steps to Reproduce

Launch Dota 2 on macOS.

Go to Settings → Hotkeys → Advanced Hotkeys.

Bind Directional Move to any keyboard key or mouse button.

Start a match (bot or unranked).

Press the bound key/button.

Expected Result:
The hero should move in the direction of the mouse cursor (Directional Move works).

Actual Result:
Nothing happens. The command is ignored.

Additional Notes

Mouse side buttons (Mouse4/Mouse5) are recognized by the keybinding menu.

The problem is not hardware-specific: the issue also occurs with regular keyboard keys.

Other hotkeys work normally.

This seems to be a macOS-specific bug, as the feature works correctly on Windows.
