Alt key does not show menu if Alt key is used for any shortcut (in any combination)

[ghost]

I use CTRL+Alt+S shortcut and it disables showing the menu with Alt.

[Araxeus]

what are you using this shortcut for?
how did you register it?

[ghost]

To play/pause like this:

"shortcut": "CommandOrControl+Alt+S",
"action": "playPause"

[Araxeus]

global or local ?

[ghost]

global (thanks for the quick replies btw)

[Araxeus]

Well this looks like a bug with electron
alt on menu + global shortcuts are native electron

I dont think if we'll be able to do much here, maybe you should open an issue at Electron

Ok, thanks for the feedback. Have a nice day! Love your work.

Hey, I am currently trying to figure out how to open the global menu with bspwm, since it doesnt show up when pressing alt. Any solution?
:D

[Araxeus]

Are you guys using the in-app-menu plugin?

Try Escape (the key). Works for me.

Try Escape (the key). Works for me.

This is only with in-app-menu active, and also will be changed to ` after #988
(since Esc is already used by youtube)

Right. I saw #988 and was just about to comment when you beat me to it! Somehow I thought it was Esc and Alt both with and without the plugin. My bad!
