I’ll try to explain this a bit more in detail.
I occasionally play a game on my MacBook and I’m used to playing with the trackpad. The main issue is mouse clicking, which doesn’t feel great on the trackpad. To solve this, I mapped left and right mouse clicks to keyboard keys.
Setup:
- I use Remap Keyboard Key to remap:
- Left Command → F1
- Left Option → F2
- In Keyboard Shortcuts:
- F1 triggers Custom Click: Left
- F2 triggers Custom Click: Right
- For F1, I enabled “Repeat assigned action”
Expected behavior:
In the game, movement is done with WASD.
When I hold W (move forward) and hold Left Command (mapped to left mouse click with repeat), everything works as expected: the character keeps moving and the repeated left mouse clicks are sent correctly.
Actual behavior:
As soon as I release the W key, the repeated mouse clicks from Left Command also stop — even though I am still physically holding the Left Command key.
In other words, releasing an unrelated movement key (W) cancels the repeating mouse click action, which makes this setup unusable for continuous actions while moving.
