The issue

Similar to #288 (comment).
My CTRL key randomly gets stuck until it is pressed again, doesn't happen with any other keys. Killing fcitx5 fixes this, but I'm not sure what logs/configs to look through to resolve this.

have you tried using fcitx5-configtool then going to Global Options and removing cursed keybinds?

[end-4]

Hmm actually, I think I can confirm this does sometimes happen (not sure about killing to fix)
My laptop keyboard's Ctrl key isn't that great, so I've been thinking it's a hardware issue. But turns out it isn't, since I never have this problem when using Windows

[aliqut]

yeah, it's quite annoying. i'll look into the issue as well later.

[aliqut]

any update? i haven't been able to resolve the issue

@DaanVervacke
remove fcitx5 from your hyprland execs
