Bind/unbind hotkey issues in the atlantean military barracks

Age of Mythology: Retold Report a Bug
1

  • Game Version: Premium

  • Build Number: v.100.18.34798.0 (559086R)

  • Platform: Microsoft Store / Xbox

  • Operating System: Windows 10

Issue: 1. I was watching @IamMagic stream yesterday and I saw he had troubles with binding/unbinding some hotkeys, specific with the ‘pre queue tech’ what is bound to shift-b (row 3, column 5) in the Atlantean barracks. so I check this issue by myself and I notice this ‘bug’ also happens with shift-s (row 2, column 2) and shift-d (row 2, column 3), those 3 hotkeys can’t be bound or unbound and that ONLY happens in the military barracks . (I checked all the other military buildings and that problem doesn’t occur there, I only tested with Oranos, I don’t know if this problem also happens with Chronos and/or Gaia) .

Trigger Event:

I was trying to unbind and bind some hotkeys and I did, but when I tried to use it in game it wasn’t working.

Repro Steps:

  1. Open Settings ->Hotkeys -> Military Barracks Hotkeys.
  2. Unbind all the shift-s , shift-d , shift-b related hotkeys.
  3. Close settings.
  4. Select a Military Barrack and press the hotkeys what were unbound in the step 2.
  5. The hotkeys should not work as were unbound, but still are working; the ‘unbind’ process is not possible.

The problem here is; if you want to bind those hotkeys to another commands, those tasks don’t gonna work when you have the military barracks selected.

Yeah, there are multiple issues with unbinding hotkeys, there’s a fair few more of them: Can't rebind "Combined Ability/Train Hotkeys"

Yeah, well, I also notice that ‘issue’ in that section, but, the problem is with the shift+letter hotkeys, is a very strange ‘bug’, because when I remap the alt+letter hotkeys to ctrl+alt+letter it works!, but when I remap the shift+letter hotkeys to alt+shift+letter that only works with the right alt key, because if I use left alt + shift + letter the game recognizes it as ctrl + alt + letter. But that situation only happens with the ‘Combined Ability/Train Hotkeys’ section (in other sections the ‘alt+shift+letter’ hotkeys what I already set work as expected with both left and right alt keys)

aha, so bizarre. I do hope they notice this and fix, hotkeys are also an accessibility concern not just convenience.
