Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/1101

I tried setting a hotkey to duplicate the same key on the client, but when restarting the server it gets stuck on "Barrier is starting."

I simply want to press Numpad + while on server pc and it press Numpad + on the client. Is this not possible?

EDIT: It actually gets stuck when setting a hotkey at all. Tried having it press a different key and still stuck on Barrier is starting.

Here's the error in the log:

[2021-03-14T20:34:19] ERROR: cannot read configuration "C:/Users/jwake/AppData/Local/Temp/Barrier.YAEuXI": read error: line 38: unable to parse key modifiers
barriers.exe: no configuration available

I guess numpad+ isn't compatible.

Saved config to PC and set Barrier to use that specific file. Manually edited the config and changed "+" to "KP_Add" and it now works. So setting hotkeys using GUI doesn't print what works into the config.
