Mod key stuck logically

[newor0599]

Mod key (SUPER, ALT) is still considered on hold even its physically not. Happens randomly. Wev doesn't seem to register any irregular logical stucking. This issue only happens in hyprland, other wayland window manager does not have such issue (river, openbox)

Output of hyprctl systeminfo -c

without a repro case this is useless as I don't get any stuck keys

[newor0599]

What data should I provide to help diagnose the issue

[vaxerski]

a step-by-step list of things to do to reproduce the issue

This seems to occasionally occur when repeatedly activating a key bind which includes a mod key

[newor0599]

Yep its really random. Focusing on a textbox unstuck it logically.

I'm experiencing the same issue. The SUPER and ALT keys have stopped functioning entirely, despite wev detecting them correctly when pressed. The only workarounds I've found are rebooting the computer (which is often necessary when Hyprland encounters issues in fullscreen mode) or exiting the compositor.

For me, I have to hit the mod key and the other key at the same time. If I hold the mod key down, it doesn't get detected correctly.

Removing hyprshell fixed the issue for me.

[newor0599]

I don't have hyprshell installed, but it might still help someone else. Thanks :)

I found that the mod key are stuck when i entered any application with keybinds, like super+1 to switch workspace to go to focus on another application, then the super key got stuck, Alt+Tab to switch to the next windows in the workspace, then the alt key got stuck

[44David]

I recently fixed this issue by removing an application which I used a key bind to open. Seems like the issue was caused by opening/using that application.

[newor0599]

it seems like so, for me it was wofi

[Jazztache]

Fuzzel seems to have this issue as well.
I think it might be something that applies to multiple app launchers, but I am not sure.
