Keyboard shortcuts not detected unless window in focus

Post by Filipi »

Hello

I installed a new version of Sandboxie, and put Discord on it. I use it to voice chat using push to talk.

With this new version, the Discord window needs to be in focus to register any key presses. So if I'm in a game and press my push to talk button, nothing happens. If I click the Discord window to focus on it, it works fine. It also works when Discord is ran outside of Sandboxie, so it definitely seems like the problem is caused by Sandboxie.

Is this a bug, removed feature, or is there a setting for it that I can't find?

Was it different in other builds?
IIRC sandboxie always blocked global hot keys and alike to prevent key logging.

Yes, I used quite an old build before on a Windows 7 PC where hot keys worked fine outside of the Sandbox. I don't remember which version though, sorry.

Is there any workaround I coulse use to have this functionality again?
