Deadkey actions unintentionally trigger space

[kysterics]

Description

Deadkey actions unintentionally trigger space, and types out spaces sometimes. The steps to reproduce this (below) is for the DK+DK case but this behaviour can be repeated for the DK+key case as well (though not typing out spaces). For example, when I play a YouTube video then do Alt-Tab using the default dk_Ext_Special + t, the video will be paused. (However, interestingly, this behaviour cannot be repeated on Twitch or in a video player like mpv.)

PS I also found that defining a DK+Space action (eg with 32 = α{} under [dk_Ext_Special]) changes the DK+DK action as well whilst defining base1 does not yield any results.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Use MoDK
2. Do DK+DK (Capslock+Capslock)

Expected Behaviour

Space is only triggered when defined to do so in _eD_DeadKeys.ini.

Actual Behaviour

4 space characters are outputted for DK+DK and space is triggered for DK+key even when not defined to do so.

Environment

• OS: Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC
• Browser/Version: Chrome/v1-4-2

There have been some troubles getting the DKs to behave properly on double-tap.

The Ext-tap however, is correctly defined as four spaces (a space-tab which I use sometimes) in the [dk_ext_special] DK section:

BigBagKbdTrixPKL/Files/_eD_DeadKeys.ini

Line 344 in 7a98c41

< > = « ␣⎇ » α{Space 4} ; ⇒ Four spaces; an explicit space-tab

You could set that to -- to kill it, I guess.

As for other cases, make sure there is a consistency between which keys are DKs in your OS layout and the setting here:

BigBagKbdTrixPKL/EPKL_Settings_Default.ini

Line 103 in 7a98c41

systemDeadKeys = auto ; ¨´^`~ etc., --, auto (use tables) - The dead keys of your OS layout

If it's set to auto and you have a locale ID that isn't predefined, it may get strange.

If something else seems buggy, please let me know! And thank you for taking the time to describe your issue so well. That really helps.
