How do I disable Sticky Keys ?

I have custom hotkeys for most of my retopo tools that I use.  I don't use Stack Keys or Sticky Keys.  There is a function of Sticky Keys that I really, really dislike.

The problem ... I have D assigned to the Points to Polygons tool.  When I press D multiple times it switches to the last tool I used, then back to Points to Polygons tool.  I hate this :D When I press D I want to know that it's selecting the Points to Polygons tool and nothing else ... ever.   I assume this is part of the Sticky Keys functions. 

How do I disable Sticky Keys?

Thanks for your help :)

:huh: That's not intended behavior, and sounds like a bug. Which build are you using ?

There is a workaround which could be useful

---------------------------------------

Export hotkeys from [Edit] - [save hotkeys].

Open it with text editor, replace all

<AllowStack>true</AllowStack>

to

 <AllowStack>false</AllowStack>

And reimport

Thanks for the info.

I was seeing this in 2023.16.  I just updated to 2023.29 and the behavior is the same.  Nothing has changed.

I exported the hotkey file and did as you explained.  Most were already set to False.  Only one was set to True.  I changed it to False and reimported the hotkeys.  The behavior is still the same.  Nothing has changed.

It's behaving exactly as described in the official Sticky Keys video ... 3:12 minute mark.  This is what I want to disable.

Same problem for me (sticky keys), which I had already reported/requested some time ago. Thanks for this report.

As of v2024.13 this is not solved.  Behavior hasn't changed at all.  I have "Don't Use Sticky Key" checked on in Preferences.  I restarted 3D Coat after checking it on fyi

Seems it is problem for me as well... Tried everything, reinstaling, updating, turning sticky keys in prefs, nothing works, and tool always swaps between last used, while pressing a key twice.

Hi, basically every tool/hotkey behaves the same. If for example were using a Pose tool, and switching to Sphere tool with a hotkey, hitting it twice will get me back to Pose tool.
