Hi Mike,
thanks for the advice. Now at least I know that it's not easy (frankly, I
think that *some* kind of notification sould have been implemented on more
basic level but...).
Even if a custom app in memory could catch described key event, it should
be the running one to do it (to have event loop active).
However, it seems that there's no other option than patching
SysHandleEvent...
Best regards,
