Some Apps dont receive keyboard input but still receive Mouse input

Some Apps such as Super Prod and Godot used to correctly capture keyboard inputs for stuff like typing and stuff.

but today, i found that i couldn’t:

  • type in them
  • use app specific shortcuts

I went in Godot’s input mapper and only my mouse buttons were being registered,

none of the inputs from my 3 different keyboards were being registered in Super Productivity and Godot specifically. they worked elsewhere such as the Zen Browser and Plasma shell,

Global Shortcuts do work tho,


and i think i should also mention this, yesterday night, i accidentally changed a global shortcut for Super Prod to just Capslock… (which doesn’t work because i set capslock to act as the super key, so that is overriding the capslock shortcut)

the other one shown in the picture below works fine but now i cant change it from capslock since all keyboard input stopped. and it stopped in another app aswell.


the only apps ive found which have this problem are:

  • Super Productivity
  • Godot game engine
