Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/446

Operating Systems

Server: macOS 10.14.6
Client: macOS 10.14.6

Barrier Version

2.3.0-Release-838b38b45

Steps to reproduce bug

Using window management software Moom on both machines. The key combinations such as Control-Alt-Command-RightArrow work on the server but not on the client, despite being set up identically.

Other info

When did the problem start to occur? It has always existed.
Is there a way to work around it? No.
Does this bug prevent you from using Barrier entirely? No.

When one of those key combos are used, this appears in the client's log:

[2019-10-02T16:08:17] INFO: found key in group 0

Also prevents Shift-Control-Arrow keystrokes from coming through in VSCode on the client.

Also having the problem on Barrier 2.4.0, using a Linux server connecting to a macOS client. CMD + Shift + Arrows do not work on the macOS client.
