I was encountering a small issue where when scrolling down Facebook or other websites on Chrome when a key is executed with ctrl+ it will make me zoom in/out on the page.
May not make a difference but my keyboard is a Razer BlackWidow Ultimate 2013.
Has anybody else had this issue, if so any fixes?

You should probably try changing your keyboard shortcuts. That or miqobot could directly inject the commands into the memory for the game but that would not be a good idea since it would make it easier and more likely detected by SE.
Thank you for the feedback!
Please don’t worry. Of course we are not going to implement any injections 🙂You are right that Miqobot is emulating keystrokes instead of injecting them. And it is true that in some rare cases this method may interfere with a foreground window. But we aim to implement Miqobot’s AI in the most graceful way possible, and that’s why we are always looking for ways to improve Miqobot.
At the moment we are investigating the issue, and we can’t say exactly whether it will or will not be fixed.
We’ll let you know as soon as we have more data.We have made the necessary adjustments, and the issue with Ctrl/Alt/Shift keys is fixed in Miqobot v1.2.4.
If you still experience the issue with the latest Miqobot, I would like to point out that windows 10 allows you to scroll webpages while having other applications in focus simply by hovering your mouse over the browser. Most noticeably when using dual monitors. So let’s say you have the game on monitor one, and everything else on monitor two. If you’re game is in ‘focus’ and you hover your mouse over your browser on monitor two then you’ll be able to scroll even though the game is in focus. Therefore if Miqobot uses the control key it will effect your browser because windows thinks you’re trying to use it there.
Best thing to do at that point is to click on the browser and let Miqobot play the game while your ‘focus’ is elsewhere and there shouldn’t be any conflicts.
Another thing: if you have the ‘always on top’ button selected, it is still possible for the game to be in focus even if Miqo is on top of it. So it’s easy to think miqo is in focus when it’s not.
This isn’t something that Miqo would have any control over. I’m not saying that this is the OP’s problem but if anyone has the new version and still experiences this behavior, they might want to consider what window they have in focus at the time.
Hope this helps someone.
Thank you very much for this information!
We haven’t considered this scenario yet.The main issue was that the previous keystrokes emulation algorithm altered the global keyboard state on a system level (specifically for Ctrl/Alt/Shift keys). But the game doesn’t read the global keyboard state, a simple WinAPI message is enough. Altering the keyboard state was an overkill, so we removed it.
Along with multiple other adjustments and optimizations, this resulted in a more stable algorithm.Do you actually experience this behaviour in Miqobot v1.2.4 on Windows 10?
Please let us know if you do. If the issue is still not fixed completely, we might have to add it to Known Issues section, along with your recommendations on how to avoid it.To be honest Miqo, I’ve never run into it. I can test it out and see what happens by putting a few abilities on a ‘control +’ keybind and see what happens when I scroll on the second monitor. In my opinion I would just recommend putting it up as a ‘known issue’. I can’t really see adding more resources just to avoid something like that. That’s up to you of course. Like I said, all anyone has to do is just their focus to something other then the game and they’re fine. Anyway, I’ll try it out and get back with you.
