🐛 Switching beetween apps and (almost) instantly triggering loop lags

[hxeo]

Bug Description

When switching between apps really quickly by tabbing between them & then triggering loop to move the windows via keybinds I sometimes experience how I have to trigger it once again. So my feeling is that it does not register the loop trigger, when quickly switching between tabs.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Open two apps or windows
2. Select one app and trigger loop to + move it to the left side of the screen
3. Tab to the other app and repeat 2. but move it to the right side of the screen

Expected Behavior

I should not have to trigger it multiple times until it actually allows me to move the app / window.

Actual Behavior

Step 3. requires sometimes (I think depending on the speed of the trigger after tabbing to the application) a second trigger.

Final Checks

• My issue title is descriptive
• This is a single bug (multiple bugs should be reported individually)

Thanks for the bug report! Unfortunately, I am unable to reproduce this on my side. Would you be able to send a screen recording?

So my feeling is that it does not register the loop trigger, when quickly switching between tabs.

Actually, Loop only adds the event monitor at app launch, and is kept active until Loop is quit. So, it is possible that the cause of this issue comes from the system as well.

Before I start recording, could it be caused by my configuration. I am not using the "globe" or the "fn" button is the trigger but a combination of "control" + "option" since I dont have the "fn" button there on my external keyboard and also because of habit from magnet (which is not open so it should not be interfering).

[MrKai77]

Yes, I also don't use the globe key. I use the right control key, so maybe that will work for you?

But either way, all trigger key combinations are captured using the same event monitor, so I don't think that the trigger key is the problem here.

I changed it to the left control key - same outcome. I restarted my machine as well. No improvements. Sometimes even the app crashed for me now, at least the menu icon of Loop disappeared suddenly. Anyways, here is the rec:

In the bottom left corner you can see what keys I am pressing.

Hmm.. As for the app crashing, I am confident that #166 is the cause.

But I am still unable to reproduce this bug, which is really odd, so this may take a while to be fixed :(
