Description Cameron Gutman 2021-01-26 00:46:12 UTC 
Windows 7 behaves differently than Windows 10 with respect to how task switching keys like Alt+Tab and Alt+Esc are handled with SDL_HINT_KEYBOARD_GRAB=1.

On Windows 10, it's sufficient to just hook processing of VK_LMENU and VK_RMENU for Alt+Tab and Alt+Esc to be captured. On Windows 7, we also need to hook VK_TAB and VK_ESCAPE.
