Unable to Enter/Select Apps

[mythbuster74]

I'm trying to control a HTPC using HASS.Agent, but I'm unable to get Enter or :select to work correctly and start the highlighted app. Up/Down/Left/Right/Back work correctly though.

I've tried sending Enter and mapping a normal key s to :select using hotkeys, but have been unsuccessful.

As a side note sending Enter does work in Kodi.

OS: Windows 10 64-Bit

I'll need a log to debug this. Run with flex-launcher.exe -d, either in a terminal or via shortcut. That will create flex-launcher.log in the same folder as flex-launcher.exe.

Please also upload your config.ini.

In the log where you see Key Right (#4000004F) detected then Key Left (#40000050) detected I have also tried to send a Enter in various forms. Using https://w3c.github.io/uievents/tools/key-event-viewer.html I can see the key press is being detected.

It looks like the space bar is being detected. Perhaps that is what is being sent? If you change your config Hotkeys section to below, does it work?
