Hotkeys/Shortcuts/Keybinds no longer trigger external programs after Javelin

As title states, hotkeys/shortcuts without modifier keys are not captured by external programs while in Apex, this has now become an issue in multiple scenarious and I desperately need it resolved. I was able to work around it for my volume control shortcuts (previously bound to extended function keys such as F13 F14 & F15 which are mapped to my numpad keys on my wooting keyboard in its gaming profile) by combining them with modifier keys (such as CTRL+F13, CTRL+F14...) which is annoying, requires an extra hand now, but its manageable. However, a common usecase which I can't work around is the fact that I had my Discord setup so that my in-game push to talk-key, [T], would also be bound to my hold-to-mute key in Discord. Super pleasant & seamless way to talk to both domains with teammates being able to differentiate the two easily. Additionally, a much more important use case that is now disrupted applied to streaming. Being able to hold-to-mute ([~] key) Discord allowed me to chat with Stream without my teammates being forced to hear me yap. I mostly played Solo for the last little bit so I didn't use it much but now that I have been squading up a bit more via Discord, this has been lost functionality that has been highly disruptive & irritating. There is NO WAY for me to push to mute Discord while in-game anymore, what the heck 😖! 
I would love to get responses on the following:

1. I would like to confirm that this is the expected behaviour? It wasn't like this on EAC. If so can you find a way to turn it off 🙏. Its not like external keybinds are banned, they just need to have modifier keys which is extremely inconvenient & disrupts a lot of essential functions. Its would be such a shame for this to be another mark on the switch to Javelin from Easy Anti Cheat (EAC) which didn't have this limitation.
2. Is everyone experiencing this? Everyone can't trigger external shortcuts anymore? Am not finding any complaints about it in my searches, am I the only power user in Apex or something? If not, what am I doing wrong? How are other streamers handling this? No way this is a bug on my end?
3. Has anyone found a way to bypass this? Running the game with some compatibility flags or are there any launch options that we can use to legally bypass this limitation?

Please let there be a way around this! 🙏🙏🙏
