When I type up arrow, nothing displays. It only displays up arrow x 3 when I press it 3 times. All the other keys seem to work fine.

Its not a bug, it's a feature. I'm actually not kidding here 😄

Now for the explanation/solution: Carnac comes with some predefined .yml files containing key combinations which should be displayed as a whole, not as single keystrokes. For example to make Ctrl and A display as Ctrl+A instead of as Ctrl A.

The up-arrow is part of an ancient Konami code, which carnac treats as key combinations by default.

So, to make the up-arrow work, you need to find the folder where carnac.exe is installed on your system, and then remove the Konami.yml file from the Keymaps folder in that directory. Don't forget to restart carnac afterwards. Also, maybe backup the file for later...

Still I guess it would be good, if this file was removed from the default install. I think it causes more issues than anything, so maybe the dev could do that in a future release?
