Possible bug with hotkeys manager in OBS

Hello,

It's been years I suspect OBS from having a weird bug when using several combinations of the same BASE key, like :
- A
- SHIFT+A
- CTRL+A
- ALT+A
- SHIFT+CTRL+A
- CTRL+ALT+A
- SHIFT+ALT+A
- CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+A

I my mind, it was clear years ago that CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+A would not work if any other combination like CTRL+ALT+A or SHIFT+ALT+A was used anywhere else in OBS. But yesterday, I encountered a problem by using the plugin Advanced Scene Switcher in combination with Autohotkey to perform a macro that makes the windowed projector to open and close by the use of a key.

Instead of a long explanation, I propose you a video that I made : https://youtu.be/iro70cxOcUU
It's quite long (40mn) but I chaptered it so you can go directly at those :
- Real test
- Changing the keys
- Second test
- and the following if you can...

Finally the problem disappeared, at my great surprise (while I spent hours yesterday confirming it), but you need to see when OBS is bugging even if Autohotkey is disabled. There's clearly a butg from OBS alone at 19:50.

Could a dev just take a look at it and confirm ?

Hi, you mention the issues are when using autohotkey (not OBS) and advanced scene switcher (a third party plugin). You haven't clearly explained what the issue actually is in detail so I'd ask that you try to do that first.
