Issue with Space Bar Input on Keyboard

To preface, I am very selective and have configured only a minimal number of shortcuts. Out of ten, eight are right-click and draw mouse gestures, while the remaining two are also mouse click gestures. There is no possibility that I have unintentionally configured the space bar somewhere.

I have not pinpointed the exact cause of the unexpected behavior, but almost randomly, my space bar will no longer input a space. When it first happened, I tested it with a keyboard tester, "Keychain Launcher," and it registered the space bar as working fine, even though there was no actual input.

Initially, restarting BTT would solve the problem for about a week, after which the same issue would reoccur. I have narrowed down the problem: if I start a gesture, complete it, and the gesture gives a command (eg. cmd+R, cmd+[), the space bar will go back to functioning normally. However, as you can imagine, it's rather frustrating to type something only to realize that I've created a super long run-on sentence without spaces.


**Affected input device: the affected device is my keyboard, as stated above, but it seems that it is being caused by mouse gestures somehow.


Device information:

  • Type of Mac: 16" M4 Pro
  • macOS version: Sequoia 15.3
  • BTT version: 5.065

Best post an export of your setup or send it to andreas@folivora.ai, then I can check what might be wrong
