Steps to reproduce
I remapped my copilot key to act as my CTRL key since that's what it replaces on my laptop. I'm basically using that inside of a game to let CTRL + left/right be my strafing keys. When I press up to move forward and then hit my copilot(CTRL mapped) key with an arrow left/right to strafe, it'll stop moving forward and just strafe directly left or right instead of ahead and right or ahead and left like I'd expect. That's how the actual physical CTRL key works, so it appears to be a mapping issue within this software that essentially cancels my "UP" keypress that I'm actively holding down.
✔️ Expected Behavior
I expect the key I remapped to not cancel keys I'm actively holding down before pressing that key.
❌ Actual Behavior
When pressing a remapped key, it cancels any presses I'm actively holding down on other keys. I can just hold up to run and then hit the remapped key and it'll stop me dead in my tracks since it appears to cancel any preexisting button holds.
Other Software
It works this way in literally anything it appears. I'm specifically using it for Final Fantasy 14 at the moment though. I can even go to a text document in word or textedit and hold a direction to move my cursor in text and pressing that remapped key will stop the long press I'm holding.
