GSE Hijacking chat function

So any time I try to press enter, the " / " key, click a name, or even hit send message from my friends list GSE instead spams ~~Keypress~~ in chat. I can't type in game in any capacity because of this. It won't let me send any messages anywhere to anyone because of this.

Hi.
What version of GSE are you using? In case you are using GSE 3.0.13:

On the GSE window, click OPTIONS, then on the OPTIONS window, go to Debug, then disable "Display Debug Messages in Chat Window".

I did this and enabled all parts, but it's not displaying anything in the chat window. Just keeps spamming Keypress.

I opened the debug sequence frame and it's not showing any bugs there either. I have replicated the bug by just spamming the macro. The only cure is to reload the UI, then as soon as I use the macro again it takes over the chat function again. It also disables my ability to use the LFG tool.

I would be checking your KeyBindings. GSE "cant" do anything without a hardware event telling it to do something and even then it can only do what your macro tells it to tell WoW to do. With the information supplied (No steps to reproduce, no screenshots, no GSE.lua file to test, no macro export strings, no description of OS or game version) I can only suggest going through the basics. The things to do: 1. Check your keybindings 2. Check your macro. Is it casting your macro or saying your macro if its saying you need to check the actions. 3. Disable all mods and enable GSE - does the problem still exist?? 4. If 2 is fine then you have another mod that is breaking GSE. Need to find out which mod it is. (Known mods which currently have issues with GSE are ElvUI on BCC.- see #830) If the problem is in #2 then you need to understand that GSE is a very low level tool. It doesnt DO anything nor does it know how to check anything. All it does is take a list of commands and sends them to WoW. If the commands are going to break WoW, GSE assumes that you as the operator know why you would want to do that. It really is Garbage In, Garbage Out. Outside of that I really need a ton more information. As it stands all I can say, again with respect and sympathy, is you is it sounds like you have a "*macro problem and might want to fix that*".

The other thing to check for is a Mod having the same or similar name to a Macro. GSE creates a series of "buttons" If another mod changes that button (which GSE cant prevent) you may have some very weird things like this happen.

This may not be the issue but if you have a variable in the macro but no variable exists that matches the name below in the variables section you macro will literally say the variable name. Eh if you have ~~MyVar~~ and you don’t have a variable matching the case of MyVar it will literally say “~~MyVar~~”
