<h1 dir="auto">Environment</h1>
<div class="snippet-clipboard-content notranslate position-relative overflow-auto" data-snippet-clipboard-copy-content="Windows build number: 10.0.18362.476
PowerToys version: 0.13.0.0"><pre class="notranslate"><code class="notranslate">Windows build number: 10.0.18362.476

<h1 dir="auto">Steps to reproduce</h1>
<p dir="auto">Keys randomly become disabled or behave unexpectedly.  I think it issue only affects the behavior of the Shift key.  When it occurs, the issue is usually noticeable when the <code class="notranslate">Shift</code> + <code class="notranslate">any key</code> to produce a character will fail (ex <code class="notranslate">Shift</code> + <code class="notranslate">5</code> to produce <code class="notranslate">%</code>).</p>
<p dir="auto">I have not been able to determine what leads to this behavior.  The does not begin immediately after the app is launched; it begins randomly, or after some sequence of keystrokes from me that I haven't identified, but once the issue begins, the only way to stop it is to exit PowerToys.</p>
<h1 dir="auto">Expected behavior</h1>
<p dir="auto"><code class="notranslate">Shift </code>+ <code class="notranslate">any key</code> returns <code class="notranslate">expected character</code><br>
Ex:  <code class="notranslate">Shift</code> + <code class="notranslate">7</code> returns <code class="notranslate">&amp;</code></p>
<h1 dir="auto">Actual behavior</h1>
<p dir="auto"><code class="notranslate">Shift</code> + <code class="notranslate">any key</code> returns <em>no response</em></p>
<p dir="auto">First of all, the Color Picker is awesome to have and I use it all the time. Thank you for making/including it.</p>
<p dir="auto">One thing I noticed tho is that several programs I use that accept a hex code limit the input field to 6 characters, so when I use the picker and then paste into the field, it chops off the last character because the pound sign is not intended to be included.</p>
<p dir="auto">This means I either need to remember the last character, paste the Pick'd code, delete the #, and enter the remembered-character, or paste from the Picker into a text editor (or usually a browser URL bar, if it's closest :)) and then highlight/copy the code again without the "#".</p>
<p dir="auto">This feels like unnecessary run-around that could be easily fixed by just adding a 3rd option in the "Appearance &amp; behavior" dropdown for just the hex code sans # sign, and I hope you will consider implementing this.</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks.</p>
