When Dexpot is Running I lose "Ctrl + Left" Functionality

[sylviasimonetti]

Hi!

First and foremost, allow me to congratulate you guys on your fine product!

When running Dexpot in my Windows 7 64x machine with two monitors., i noticed I lose "ctrl + left" functionality in all applications. As you guys know, pressing "ctrl + left" or "ctrl + right" when moving through text, allows windows users to move/skip to the mouse cursor to the end or beginning of words. As of right now, I can only use "ctrl + right" but "ctrl + left" is dead when running Dexpot. When I exit Dexpot, the "ctrl + left" functionality comes back. This is what I've done without any success.

- I've tried clearing all hotkeys in your settings.
- I've tried disabling the MouseEvents plugins
- I've installed "Common Controls" and successfully ran the command, just as you suggested here:

What else can I do to regain "ctrl + left" functionality?

Only my desktop seems affected by this.

I've installed Dexpot on my Windows 7 64x laptop. There the "ctrl + left/right" functionality works fine across all applications.

I never realized how much I relied on on using to keyboard shortcuts when dealing with text.

Please help me, I am getting so used to the virtual desktops. But i am also very used to using "ctrl + left" when typing.

What should I do?

Ctrl+left works fine with Dexpot running on all the systems I've tried it on.

If the problem is in fact caused by Dexpot, then the most likely reason would indeed be that the key combination is assigned as a hotkey. Did you press the "Apply" button in the Settings when you tried clearing all hotkeys?

In case it's really not a hotkey problem... Does Shift+Left still work? What about Ctrl+Shift+Left? Does it stop working immediately when you start Dexpot or do you have to switch desktops or do something else first? Could it be related to some other program? Does the desktop machine have anything running in the background that's not present on the laptop?

Thank you Patrick!

Restarting the computer fixed the issue. I'll keep you posted if something changes!
