Aerospace not executing some commands with 5 keys

[alexandre-thauvin]

Body

Hi,

I have the exact same config between 2 Mac M1 config (toml file can be found here https://github.com/alexandre-thauvin/dotfiles/blob/master/macos/config/aerospace/aerospace.toml)
However on one of them Aerospace is acting weirdly.

Some commands are just not executed. E.g. move left/right/up/down or move to workspace 1/2 (3/4/5 are ok weirdly...)
I have tried to troubleshoot and as soon as I remove one of the key in the command, e.g. ctrl or alt then everything works. But the combination of 5 keys (ctrl-alt-cmd-shift-number/arrow) seems to create some bugs.

-> Why it works totally fine one of my mac but not the other?
-> Why this works:

ctrl-alt-cmd-shift-3 = ['move-node-to-workspace 3', 'workspace 3']
ctrl-alt-cmd-shift-4 = ['move-node-to-workspace 4', 'workspace 4']
ctrl-alt-cmd-shift-5 = ['move-node-to-workspace 5', 'workspace 5']

and this doesn't:

ctrl-alt-cmd-shift-1 = ['move-node-to-workspace 1', 'workspace 1']
ctrl-alt-cmd-shift-2 = ['move-node-to-workspace 2', 'workspace 2']

Steps to reproduce:

1. Use a 5 commands to move a window (right/left) or workspace

Expected result:
Do the command
Actual result:
Do not do the command.

Any update on this? I still have the issue even with the latest version.

Do you use different keyboards on the two machines? Some keyboards have limitations on how many keypresses (and which combinations of keypresses) they can support at the same time. As an example, if I hold down all home row letters on my laptop sequentially, I get "asdfgh" typed into this text box (despite holding down "jkl" as well), and it is only upon releasing all of "asd" (releasing one letter at a time) that "jkl" gets processed and added to the text box in one chunk. It is possible your keyboard on your second Mac M1 does not support ctrl-alt-cmd-shift-1 or ctrl-alt-cmd-shift-2 at the same time.
