Pressing left shift to dash opens Steam Overlay?

[Kryzz]

So pretty much that, whenever I press left shift to dash, steam overlay comes up. I checked my configuration and its configured as default to tab+shift but it opens just when I press left shift alone in this game (not in any others that I know of). I can't change the config in-game for whatever reason so is there any way around this? I don't really want to have to disable steam community in-game because I like to take screenies

Also unrelated, but is there any way to hide 'world' chat messages or 'friendly tips'?

On the steam client press: Steam--->Settings--->In-game and change the steam overlay activation keys.

Also note that if you want to disable it you can still take screenshots by pressing Stamp, they'll be saved in Documents/DragonNest, you can also press CTRL+Stamp to hide the UI before taking a screenshot.

Like I said it's set to Tab + Shift but comes up after only pressing left shift

It's not only Dragon Nest. Happened with some other games for me. Although it happens only once. You open up overlay UI, do stuff, close it, and in game while pressing shift first time after that - overlay opens up again. After that it's normal. Unpleasent, but not that annoying.

Sadly not the case for me since it happens 1 in 2 times I press left shift and I never really use steam overlay, infact the only reason I don't want to turn it off is so that I can take steam screenies ><

I have the answer,

If its a full screen game and you are trying to click out of it to watch a youtube video or something do not press alt+Tab thats why, so just press alt+esc

Im having the prob now I cant even type in the steam overlay for some reason too.

My crouch key in tf2 is set to shift and I press shift everytime I jump, its just some urge.

this is a rather... old topic, but to fix this change shift+tab to a other key+tab, this fixed it for me

But how do you change it? I can't find a "settings" option in either the steam client or in the overlay.

To change the keybind go to your steam client, press the button in the top left that says 'Steam' and click settings. When you're in settings the third option from the top should be called In-Game, and change the Overlay shortcut to whatever you want. This section also lets you change the screenshot hotkey and enable the fps counter.

Just like @kang krooooool said, this is related to some weird caching behavior done by the window server, or the game logic. Any time you Alt-tab (out of a game, probably, not into the game) it remembers this tab and has it phantom-queued into the key inputs, but it doesn't pop it off the queue until you hit Shift or some other key that would allow it to be processed as a key combination. This is a bug, and we would need Steam to investigate their code before reporting it to Windows as a bug.
