Description

I use cmd as PTT, and alt/option as a whisper, however, my mumble client (1.2.19) doesn't differentiate between the left or right cmd/option keys. Either of the two cmd keys sets off the PTT, etc.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how Mumble handles keyboard shortcuts on macOS, specifically for left/right modifier keys, and propose a fix to differentiate between left and right cmd/option.
