I meant without the workaround but I think it doesn't matter anyway.

From my point of view it is clear that some users can experience a
keyboard lock with the default values in OISInput.cfg, although they are
sane and work perfectly for myself.

Upstream will not change the default values but they might change the
location of OISInput.cfg to the user's home directory, so that you can
simply adjust the values to suit your needs.

Perhaps in a future release they might even consider to use another
input handling method and replace OIS with something similar but that's
speculation.

Regards,

Markus
