Opt Key Up action not working

Configuration Help & General Discussion

I am running MacOS 10.14.6 using BetterTouchTool version 4.184, which I believe is the last version of BTT that supported MacOS 10.14. I am having an issue building a trigger that uses the "Opt Key Up" action from the "Modifier Keys" set of actions.

I have built the following set of actions for a trigger:

  1. Show context menu for selected item
  2. (Async) Delay next action by 0.1 seconds
  3. Press keyboard shortcut "P"
  4. (Async) Delay next action by 0.1 seconds
  5. Opt Key Down
  6. (Async) Delay next action by 0.1 seconds
  7. Press keyboard shortcut "Enter"
  8. (Async) Delay next action by 0.1 seconds
  9. Opt Key Up

All of the actions fire correctly except the final Opt Key Up. I can't figure out how to get that Opt Key Up action to fire.

If I build a trigger that just uses the following actions:

  1. Opt Key Down
  2. (Async) Delay next action by 0.1 seconds
  3. Press keyboard shortcut "Enter"
  4. (Async) Delay next action by 0.1 seconds
  5. Opt Key Up

...the Opt Key Up action works correctly, and I am able to use the "Show context menu for selected item" action successfully in other triggers, so the actions all work correctly independently, but it seems like some bug is occurring when they are all used together in the same trigger.

Any ideas what I could do to get the Opt Key Up actions to work, or if there's something I'm doing wrong currently that is causing the issue?

I think the context menu action might be confusing the modifier state.
Could you try adding another opt key down action before your opt key up action?
