Control keys don't repeat on secondary

from Stardock Forums

When controlling the secondary machine, I have the following trouble with control keys:

If I hold a control hotkey down that is defined on the secondary machine, for example holding down both, Control and the letter "t", multiplicity only sends one keystroke - it does not repeat. I have to lift my finger off the control key and press Control-T to get a second one. This is, of course, not how it works when one is working directly on the secondary machine's keyboard (or directly on the primary's for that matter): Holding down Control-T causes a repeattion of  Control-Ts to occur.

Can anyone else confirm this is happening on their setup? If this is not just my machines, can it, will it be fixed?

Thanks,
Khent

What are you using on the secondary to define these hotkeys?  Multiplicity isn't set up to behave in this way.  I have seen instances where modifier keys (ctrl, alt, shift, win) can get "stuck" with multiplicity, usually after hitting ctrl-alt-del on a secondary (which will send the signal to both machines). Usually tapping the stuck modifire will fix this issue.

Well, I use AutoIT (http://www.autoitscript.com/) a free, very excellent, that has now become an essential tool.  Gives you that little edge in the gaming scene but use if for everything from starting to automating my ediing the same way from Email to Emacs. Like Multiplicity too, but like my AutoIT more so if M. doesn't deliver the scancodes over the wire, then I gues it won't work.
