Cannot bomb while focusing

[Dusknoir]

I reckon it's a better place to ask that. ^^
Well, in every touhou game, I cannot bomb if I'm already pressing both the focus and shoot key. =x That means I can't play at all at the moment, I've searched an answer here and with Google, but didn't found anything, so help would be appreciated, thanks. =P

What kind of controller are you using ?

[Dusknoir]

My keyboard, I don't really know how to use another controller, and until I received that computer, it always worked fine with my keyboard. =x Do you need details about it ?

don't some keyboards not recognise if you're pressing more than two buttons? (or smth like that) this is what it sounds like but I'm not sure how it can be fixed, I'm sure somebody will be able to help with that.

Do you have a laptop?  Some laptops have a limited number of allowed button inputs at any time, I have this issue as well and maybe some of the Touhou Gurus know a way around it, but with my laptop model it's a built-in "feature" I can't get rid of to my knowledge

That's what I thought at first, but, weirdly, I can simultaneously press W + Shift + Up + Left (for example) => 4 keys, and Reimu moves fine
but not W + shift + X => 3 keys only %)
Maybe the arrow keys are not affected by the limit ?

And yes, I own a Laptop. =x

Get a gamepad.  You won't have this problem anymore.

Also, it might be a "keyboard signal ghosting" issue, that is, if you press a certain combination of keys at the same time, some of them may not work. Shift+Z+X usually work anyway as they're on completely different rows and are less than 5 keys total.

I searched about that ghosting thing, and found it could be fixed using a macro, or something that would change the keys of my keyboards : for example, shooting with Q instead of W (french keyboard). Do you know a program or anything that could invert two keys on the keyboard ?

(if nothing works, I'll buy a gamepad, but I'd like to keep playing with my keyboard, if possible >>)
