[Solved] 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
