Combined Keystrokes coming through individually (possible bug?)

[Alweth]

I am trying to use iCUE with my new K55 keyboard to play Pillars of Eternity, and I'm encountering the following unexpected behavior:

 

In Pillars of Eternity, pressing F5 initiates a Quicksave (by default), but pressing Shift + F5 does not.

 

However, when I bind a Macro (G) key to do the keystroke Shift + F5, it seems to be detected by Pillars of Eternity as if F5 was pressed individually. That is, it initiates a Quicksave when the Macro key is pressed, and when I press the Macro key in the control binding settings of Pillars of Eternity, it is detected only as F5, not as Shift + F5. However, if I bind an action in Pillars of Eternity to Shift + F5 manually, then pressing the Macro key triggers that action when simply pressing F5 doesn't.

 

I had the same issue when I tried to create the same effect with a Macro instead of a Keystroke.

 

Is this a bug? How would I get a Macro key to act like a I'm pressing Shift + F5, but only Shift + F5?

 

Thanks for any help!

I've been able to get the behavior I want by creating two separate Macros, one that presses the keys I want in the order I want and one that releases them in the reverse order, and then assigning the release event as the second event for the first macro. But I would think there has to be an easier way to do this. Do any of you know the easy way to do what I'm trying to do?
