Control and Command keys are identical on macOS

(#175) Bug Needs triage accessibility desktop
by RexSystem edited originally by @fluffy-critter on GitHub

Summary

On macOS, the ctrl key has a bunch of standard accessibility shortcuts, like ^E (end of line) and ^A (beginning of line). Fluxer seems to be overriding those to do other stuff than what the OS makes standard, for example ^E is bringing up the emoji picker. My keybinds are set to the default where cmd-E should bring up the emoji picker, but the app is treating cmd and ctrl as equivalent, when they aren't.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Type some stuff
  2. Press ^E to go to the end of the line
  3. Be disappointed

Environment (optional)

v0.0.8 on macOS 26.2

Logs or screenshots (optional)

This issue could probably use a better name as the title makes it sound like an accessibility issue with the app under macOS. Something like "Fluxer doesn't differentiate between Ctrl and Cmd under a macOS environment, colliding with system keyboard shortcuts"

I mean, for me it is an accessibility issue, because due to physical disability I rely heavily on the system modifier keys working consistently.

Not denying that, just for the purposes of an issue report it helps to be a little more specific in case somebody rocks up with a similar issue and searches for it before making a report to help prevent future duplicate issues etc.

Yeah, understood, and I've changed the issue title accordingly.
