Tritambarum, I know it’s taboo but if you’re frequenting these forums could you possibly let us know if there’s an update to the left/right modifier issue?
After some further digging, I found there definitely were some investigations into macro behaviour within the past days - is this still ongoing after the hotfixes applied today?
It is being tracked though - fingers crossed!

I made a github issue so hopefully the UI devs will look at it if they haven’t already

Bug
Mainline
When pressing modifiers keys like `lshift` or `rshift` they behave as if they ar… e just normal `shift` modifiers.
For example while pressing right-shift, the script will output "left". The macro will cast [Renew].
```lua
/dump SecureCmdOptionParse("[mod:lshift] left; [mod:rshift] right")
```
```
/cast [mod:lshift] Renew; [mod:rshift] Heal
```
However the related APIs still seem to work properly.
```lua
/dump IsLeftShiftKeyDown(), IsRightShiftKeyDown(), IsShiftKeyDown()
```
This issue has been reported since the Shadowlands launch on the official forums so this is probably already being tracked.

Reproduced on:
- Live 9.0.2 (37474)
- PTR 9.0.5 (37623)
Do Devs actually use that?
They look at it sometimes
Hey Elvenbane ,
I know that thread very well and specifically the L/R change from last year but I’m afraid I cannot comment on the Dev side of it. All I can really say is that it’s known.

Thanks for the reply and further confirmation that it’s a known issue.
