[openbox] Key Chain Broken by Multiple Keyboards

Hello, all. I recently started using two keyboards simultaneously, one for
my left hand and another for my right. My hands are much more comfortable
now, and I recommend split keyboards to you, too, if you happen to have two
hands.
However, many Openbox binding chains, such as “W-a p” below, suddenly fail
to execute:
> <keybind key="W-a">
> <keybind key="x"><action name="Execute"><command>setsid ~/audio stop</command></action></keybind>
> <keybind key="p"><action name="Execute"><command>setsid ~/audio next</command></action></keybind>
> </keybind>
The “W-a x” binding executes without issue.
This seems to happen because “p” is on the right-hand keyboard, while “W-”
(Super_L), “a”, and “x” are all on the left-hand keyboard. Is this a known
issue? Can you suggest any workarounds, please? I miss my binding chains.
They were awfully convenient.
Also, chains that start with, say, “W-h” instead of “W-a” (with “h” on the
right-hand keyboard) are never even initiated. A non-chained “W-h” binding,
meanwhile, executes without issue--so the problem seems specific to chains.
Thank you.
