#99 roccat Nyth: can no longer use left side modifier key shortcuts as standalone buttons

[Anonymous]

steps to reproduce:
1. open sudo roccatnythconfig
2. open the drop down menu on any button and select "shortcut"
3. in the window that opens, just press the left alt key on the keyboard

expected behavior:
the text "alt_L" appears on the right side of the little dialog and the OK button is clickable

actual behavior:
the checkbox "alt" is set to true, but "alt_L" is not written on the right side of the little dialog, and the OK button is not clickable.

Which version of roccat-tools are you using on what system?
As a workaround you can select the key directly in the combo boxes long list.

roccat-tools 5.0.0 on MX 18.3 (debian based) running 5.1.2-antix.1-amd64-smp, X.Org 1.19.2

the combo box does not have a list of keys.

You are using an aeons old version of roccat-tools. Get 5.9.0 and you get your expected behaviour back. Along with a combo box to manually select.

i was avoiding 5.9.0 because the last time i tried it launching roccatnythconfig would quit with an error. something about unexpected file length.

now, prompted by you, i tried again just so i could copy the error.

but now 5.9.0 simply works. probably because i had wiped and deleted all profiles in the older version that did work.

now 5.9.0 works, and has the desired functionality. both issues solved

thank you very much <3
