Using Win+F as "toggle window" hotkey isn't working properly

[Toxe]

Hello,

I just noticed a problem in 1.5.0.1383a when trying to use

Win+F

as "toggle window" hotkey.

Step 1: I have the Windows 11 default

Win+F

hotkey disabled via PowerToys (Remap Shortcut, Win (Left), F, Disable).

Step 2: When trying to bind

Win+F

in Everything the input box first shows

Win+0xFF

while holding down the Win key. After releasing Win it changes to

0xFF

.

Problem: Pressing

Win+F

now does indeed toggle the Everything window as it should. But pressing the

Pause/Break

key now also toggles the window.

Binding another Shortcut that Windows 11 doesn't use like

Win+Y

works without issues.

Workaround: While binding the shortcut and holding down the Win key I can make the input text field lose focus by clicking the mouse somewhere outside and when releasing Win the bound shortcut will stay as

Win+0xFF

and won't change to

0xFF

. Now everything (and Everything, ha! ) works as it should and I can even press

Pause/Break

without opening Everything.

Looks like when I use that workaround I can still open Everything with

Pause/Break

but this time I also need to hold down

Win

.

Everything 1.5.0.1384a will now ignore the 0xff key.
