Shift-Delete shortcut for Cut does not work in the Discord window

McFrugal

It just deletes text without placing it into the keyboard.  Did this used to work before?  CTRL+X still works, but I'm more used to shift+del.  Please fix this.

    1. Set up freeware scripter https://www.autoitscript.com/cgi-bin/getfile.pl?autoit3/autoit-v3-setup.exe and check an option for opening of .au3 files by this soft at the installer

    2. Make empty file in any text program, copy this and paste to there:

    ; Addition to Discord fixing Shift+Del behavior

    Opt ( "WinTitleMatchMode", 2 ) ; Ignore register in window names
    HotKeySet ( '+{DEL}', 'Start' ) ; Shift+Del

    Pause ( )

    Func Start ( )
     If Not WinActive ( "Discord" ) Then
      Pause ( )
     Else
      Send ( "^{x}" ) ; Ctrl+X
     EndIf
    EndFunc

    Func Pause ( )
     While 1
      Sleep ( 10 )
     WEnd
    EndFunc

    3. Save it as %appData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\any_your_name.au3 and close text program

    4. Start this script. Next time it will start automatically

    Also you can use script-to-executable converter at %ProgramFiles%/AutoIt3/Aut2Exe/ folder + any_icon.ico file to create an .exe file independent of any AutoIt installation

    I noticed this as well, and having to install another program to fix a bug in Discord isn't the solution I was looking for. This bug is fighting some of my oldest muscle memory, and I would like to see it fixed.

    I'm new to Discord and it took me a week to notice why I'm losing my preciously typed text. I would also like to see this fixed.

    BTW, I use Discord in the browser, not a desktop app.

    It took me a while to notice the issue, it was driving me nuts, thinking it's a Windows issue.
    Please fix.
