Hi SilentExcept,

I just noticed that you did quite some work on the Keyboard Input Plugin; that's the power of open source software ;-). I simply do not have enough time to actively work on this plug-in, so I'm glad somebody else is jumping in.

I will have a closer look at your changes in the coming days, and test your version of the plug-in after I install the latest version of MediaPortal. I hope that with the improved hook behavior, keyup-events are now correctly picked up for my remote (which was why I reset the modifier keys in the keydown-event instead of keyup-event).

One question though; I noticed that you removed the Win-key behavior. Although I do not use this functionality myself, I think I once saw a user requesting this feature. So maybe it's a good idea to add a configuration option specifying whether the Win-key should be treated as a modifier key.

Kind regards,
Ruud.
