Pressing the Win key starts zoom (Windows Key). The Win should completely be ignored in ImageGlass

[schittli]

System information:

• Windows OS version: W10 22H2
• ImageGlass version: 9.08.1208, x64

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open an Image in ImageGlass
2. Press the Win Key (Windows key) for some seconds: ImageGlass zooms the image as long as you press the key. Extremely annoying
3. Press the Win Tab (Windows key with the Tab key): ImageGlass starts zooming and does not stop while Windows Displays all active Application Windows (Task-Switch). Extremely annoying

Actual behavior:

See "Steps to reproduce the behavior:"

Expected behavior:

1. The Win key and any Win key combinations should not do anything in ImageGlass because those key combinations should be reserved for System tasks
2. It would be very useful if users could modify all keyboard shortcut in ImageGlass

I'm unable to reproduce the issue (Windows 11). Can you attach a video?

Same issue here. As soon as I hit the Windows key (even without releasing it), the image gets zoomed out. When I release the Windows key, the zooming out phase stops. If I let the Windows key pressed more than one second, the image is zoomed out to 1% of its original size.

I have the issue since v9.0.7.1125, still happens with v9.0.8.1208.

Thanks for the video, I will test the issue on Windows 10.

I tested on VirtualBox, still cannot reproduce

I stopped all software running on my PC to eliminate any conflict that could happen between ImageGlass and other software (especially with software interacting with keystrokes like AutoHotkey & all...), but no luck.

This issue seems like it has to do with the keyboard's input methods for whichever reason.
QWERTY seems to work fine meanwhile AZERTY (french one specifically others work fine) causes the caps lock button to trigger the zoom out function alongside the windows key.
here's an example:

Thanks @ZunRine for pointing out AZERTY keyboard layout! I managed to reproduce the issue and pushed a fix.

In the meanwhile, you can temporarily fix this by changing the hotkey for menu Zoom Out.

• Close all IG windows
• Open igconfig.json file with any text editor (Notepad, VS Code,...)
• Find the MenuHotkeys and update it with:

{
  "MenuHotkeys": {
    "MnuZoomOut": ["Subtract"]
  },
}

• Save the file and open IG again

I created a build for testing this, you can download it here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_qTiGxV7u0SuQ0B8PG2eug_z1nWnEgnc/view?usp=sharing

I have an AZERTY keyboard and I can confirm that this bug doesn't happen anymore for me with this build. 🙂👍

Looks good to me too, AZERTY keyboard as well. 🥳
