Hi Kurtis, Thanks for the response. To be clear this issue <https://github.com/go-vgo/robotgo/issues/486> is the defect that I'm encountering. The issue was originally logged against *v1.0.0-beta4*. I am using *v1.0.0-beta6* but the defect has not been fixed.
This defect occurs when calling *robotgo.KeyTap("a")*. It doesn't just happen when passing in "a", it seems to occurs whenever any value other than a whitespace value is passed in. I noticed that it happens when calling the *robotgo.KeyToggle* function also. To answer your question about the main function. Yes I did alter it. I just changed it to the following so that I could try and debug the issue: func main() { robotgo.KeyTap("a") } On a side note. The reason I'm using *v1.0.0-beta6 *is because when I tried to import it into my original project by running *go get -u github.com/go-vgo/robotgo* the branch that was pulled has an entirely different set of issues. I had to specify the beta6 tag using *go get -u github.com/go-vgo/robotgo@1.0.0-beta6* On Thursday, December 8, 2022 at 7:13:14 PM UTC-6 kra...@skepticism.us wrote: > It superficially looks like you're running the code from > https://github.com/go-vgo/robotgo/blob/master/examples/key/main.go. > However, The line number 136 in main.go in the backtrace doesn't make any > sense since the example code from the project only has 134 lines.
