Describe the bug

Smart Keymap does not work properly and prevents in-game text field entry. This problem occurs on both 3.0.0 release and nightly (472).

With Smart Keymap disabled, you can click on a text field like the chat in Genshin Impact or Honkai Impact and type without issue. However, enabling it causes the text entry to "lose focus" when you try to type a certain letter that corresponds to an existing keymap button.

Not sure if this has anything to do with the version of macOS I am on, I'm currently using macOS 14.0 Sonoma beta (23A5337a).

Steps to reproduce

Enable Smart Keymap from the app settings
Try typing in an in-game text field like the chat box in Genshin Impact

Expected behaviour

Smart Keymap not breaking in-game text fields/chat entries.

Crash log

No crash

What version of PlayCover are you using?

Nightly/beta

What version of macOS are you using?

macOS beta (please state the specific version)

Issue Language

Yes my issue is written in English
