There are many keyboard problems with Capture2Text running on Windows 11 unless all hotkeys in Capture2Text are unmapped and only Win+Q is mapped. They don't have to be actual hotkeys. Prepared to be hotkeys, reserved for is enough to cause mayhem when typing.

My Error report before I found the problem, that it was using Capture2Text
The keyboard issue I encountered in Windows 11 where the W E R S D O keys did not work while the S key on the keyboard seemed to have taken on some sort of navigational role. This keyboard issue went away on its own by shutting down, waiting, and then restarting.
I still wonder what it was, though, and if it might come back.
One thing I noticed for a long time was that when I was typing on the MX keys, the keyboard focus often seemed to move away from where I was typing and I was suddenly in another open window in another application or in the Windows setting itself. It's hard for me to remember exactly what was different. It was very similar to when I had the keyboard problem described earlier today: Pressing the S key moved the keyboard focus somewhere else.
In Notepad++, as soon as I pressed the S key, a rectangular area was selected. I could see a thin blue line indicating that the focus was on that area. It was not where the keyboard focus was until I pressed the S key, and it had nothing to do with the mouse. Strange. I remember that Notepad++ has a feature where you can mark a block for copying.
However, this may be the only way this keyboard problem manifested itself in Notepad++.
I am pretty sure that strange things similar to what I have described have happened in other programs on Windows 11 and on Windows 10 as well.
