Did some investigation. This happens on Windows only, due to a feature called "Alt keys". It cannot be turned off in any reasonable way at all, which is unfortunate.
Mudlet will have to work around this problem, because it is interfering with keybindings and makes the command line inoperable after using an alt keybinding for typing - you have to clear it. A possible pseudocode solution for this could go like this: alt on -> start tracking -> marco matched -> record that -> alt down - macro matched? if yes, record that, next character insert -> ignore it, wipe flag. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mudlet Makers, which is subscribed to Mudlet. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/940014 Title: ALT + Numeric keypad shortcut keys leave command prompt noise Status in Mudlet the MUD client: New Bug description: When setting up short cut keys using ALT+Num7, or ALT+Num8 (where Num7 and Num8 would be numeric keypad keys) it leaves control characters in the command prompt. The desired effect is achieved, eg I use the keypad to slow walk Num2 = south, Num8 = north, etc and this works fine, but if I use ALT+Num2 to squint north it will squint north, but it will also leave rubbish in the command prompt. This is very frustrating to clear constantly, especially when your trying to locate an enemy in battle and need to clear your prompt before your next command. Mudlet version 2.0, Windows 7.
