Every so often, control gets stuck after changing desktops.

[ddshore]

I work a lot in different desktops, and I use ctrl + alt + arrow keys to move from one desktop to another. My control is swapped with my caps lock key. After a while, the control key will end up stuck, and when I go to keypass I'll see the following error.

LC-O
Device removed: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard

I have to Control + c to kill it
^CReceived an interrupt, exiting.

And then I'll restart it.

Is there anything I can do to fix this? This has been a problem for a long long time.

Hello @ddshore , i encountered this issue in both Debian 12 and Almalinux 9, and after more than a year of use of xkeysnail, the only solution was to not use it and move to xremap .
I did not know why it took me a long time to move out but it was really a very good decision since xremap is more easier to install and work with.
