(Low Priority) Cannot open inventory when moving South-East

Post by Fl_GUI »

Title really says all.
Other directions are fine.
I think I always had this bug, even after I switched to UNIX.
It's really a small bug and I don't really have much problems with it, I just felt like sharing this and contributing to the community in any way possible.

It probably is your keyboard's fault. I do have the same problem on my desktop and laptop: when I'm holding the W and D keys (running north-east) then pressing E won't have any effect, the key simply won't trigger.
The reason for that is that keyboards are not built to detect 3 keys close to each other pressed at the same time. You can find an in-depth explanation and testing app for key combinations here:

The only real solution to that is buying a keyboard with N-key rollover, these can detect any key combination with up to N keys.

Thank you very much!
Not like it mattered much, but you've still made time to reply.
