That's a strange way of convincing. I'm talking from actual experience here; saying that it's a lie or a dream is not a good way of learning from experience. > It does not affect other keyboard keys. Of course, it does. You examine each key and decide which ones to handle and which not. But at that low level looking at an individual keystroke is not good enough for that decision, when some other software, perhaps in Windows itself, has hooked the keyboard at a similarly low level, or lower. IOW, you could easily err to recognize what the user is typing, because you don't know enough, at that low level, about higher-level translations of the key sequence being typed.
