Bug: Control key wrongfully returnes by the %TriggerValue% as Enter symbol

Hi @peternlewis

Here's a slight bug I've stumbled upon:

When using a USB device Key trigger set to the control key it gets returned by the %TriggerValue% token as an Enter symbol ⌤ instead of the correct Control symbol ⌃

As labeled in the image below, the %TriggerValue% token returns, in order from the topmost trigger:

  • ⚀L⌤ where it should be ⚀L⌃
  • ⚀R⌤ where it should be ⚀R⌃
  • ⚀⌃1 correctly returned
  • ⌃⌤ correctly returned (included only to see the two symbols side by side)

Here's the demonstration macro, that also includes a Switch to make it automatically disable after two minutes, as it quickly gets irritating having a text window appear every time one hits the control key:
