Hello,
For some reason snippets that I use for Home/End have stopped working. I've tried reassigning the keys, but now the desktop app no longer accepts input from those keys.
Is there some sort of workaround for this?
Thanks!

Are you using our macOS or Windows desktop app? Also, how are you using the Home/End keys in your snippets? Please share the snippet with me at ashwin@blaze.today by putting it in a separate folder and sharing the folder.
Hey there, I can share it - sure.
I was actually using it for both windows and mac (with two separate snippets due to key differences), but Windows is where I'm noticing the issue. I haven't actually tried it on Mac lately. I'll share now.
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing those snippets!
What your keyboard layout is and when you first noticed this issue occurring? Also, are you receiving any error notifications when you run the snippet?
I'm on a US layout.
This is what happens when I try to run it. It's been a couple of months since I needed to use it, and it worked fine. But when I tried again yesterday, it just gave those errors, and so my first thought was to reassign the keys; however, it doesn't recognize the keypresses when I do. I can use the keys manually otherwise, though, so I don't believe it's an issue with my system actually sending the keypresses.
Thanks for the response!
Currently, Text Blaze doesn't support Home and End key presses. However, we are looking into adding this as a new feature for our desktop apps. We don't have an ETA just yet, but I will update you once it's in production.
In the meantime, a workaround is to create snippets that use Ctrl/Cmd + arrow keys.
I'm really confused - it worked before?!
Do you happen to remember when you last used it and it was working as expected? We haven't added or removed support for those keys in the meantime, so the behavior should have remained consistent.
It had been a couple of months. I use it to quickly add HTML to a line in a non-HTML editor. I typed <bold> on a line, and it automatically would home throw <b> at the front, and then end </b> at the back. Same with <i> and <u>
It worked beautifully! hah
That is strange to know. Text Blaze has never supported the Home and End keys, though we do plan to add support for them in a future update. If you recall any extra details about when it was working (app, editor, etc.), feel free to share and I’ll look into it further.
