Inconsistency detecting keyboard events with MouseKeyHook in Gamma

Thanks!

VL.IO.Global?

Sounds a bit ugly but VL.GlobalMouseKeys to be more specific?

Also, feels weird to me to have a category like “IO” in the package name, that should only be in the nodebrowser I’d say.

But appart from that yes, great initiative, this is needed quite often!

Mh, there are a lot of “official” nugets carrying the category in their names also ones that are somewhat related like VL.IO.Multitouch and the (Skia) mouse stuff is in IO. Currently favoring VL.IO.MouseKeyGlobal.

Would it be possible to have the HID id as context ?

Here you go:

VL.IO.MouseKeyGlobal

A global mouse and keyboard hook for vvvv gamma. In contrast to the GlobalHook stuff posted in the forum and the chat beforehand this package is not based on MouseKeyHook but on SharpHook by Tolik Pylypchuk. After some deliberation I chose Sharphook because: it doesn’t depend on Windows.Forms it is cross plattform the hook runs its event handlers on other threads and should behave nicer when vvvv runs at lower framerates for some reason For more info please check: https://sharphook.toli…
