Unable to use app

Nobody has claimed this yet.

[ x] Your Hyper.app version is 3.4.1. Please verify you're using the latest Hyper.app version
[ x] I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate

Any relevant information from devtools? (CMD+OPTION+I on macOS, CTRL+SHIFT+I elsewhere):

Is the issue reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app?

Issue

I have been having the same issue with new installs of Hyper for over a year, and unable to use it.

When I install and launch the app, the font is very small. However, when I type commands, the window abruptly zooms and changes color for as long as I'm holding down a key.

The issue seems to be from a corrupt settings file from a previous install that wasn't deleted, but I don't know how to reset the app and every time I reinstall it the same issue repeats.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

Start by reproducing the zoom and color change in Hyper 3.4.1 on macOS, first reviewing the ~/.hyper.js contents and listed plugins. Use the devtools information requested in the issue to identify whether the behavior comes from configuration or an add-on; done means a fresh or reset installation can accept commands without changing appearance.
