  Hello
  
  I'm facing a weird issue using snippet & hotstring with "do not wait for ending key" ticked.
  
  I defined a text like : 
  

  Code:

  New security updates have been approved for the GxP Workstation environment    The below security updates will be deployed to our test environment the 1st Thursday of {Now:MMMM}. If no issues are reported the security updates will be deployed to our production environment the 2nd Thursday of {Now:MMMM}

  
  I attached this hotstring: Gxp# and ticked "do not wait for ending key"
  
  By doing so when typing Gxp#, the hotstirng is well replaced by my text but then I'm no longer able to type anything or to select a menu.
  I mean it is quite like "Control" key is always pressed, for example if I type G i got in reality "Control - G"
  the same goes for every other letter or action using the mouse.
  
  unticking "do not wait..." solve the issue.
  By doing so everything works like expected.
  
  I'm running the latest version on an English os windows 10 -1809  + "french language pack"
  I can of course do some troubleshooting and provide logs or screen capture if needed.
  
  Thanks

  Hi Orlith,
  
  Sorry about that. Unfortunately, I created a snippet with the same hotstring and I was not able to reproduce the issue.
  
  Is this a new issue (something that worked before and appeared with the latest version) or something that you just created now?
  
  This is not a good solution but, when the Ctrl key seems to be always pressed, have you tried to hit Ctrl key alone to unlock it?

  Hi Jean
  
  This is a new issue with the latest version and the previous ne. I just played around with that option.
  Yep, pressing control key did not "release" it.
  
  Will try to reproduce the issue on another computer and let you know soon
