Description Cameron Gutman 2021-01-29 02:08:18 UTC 
For keys that are already down when we install the keyboard hook, we need to allow the WM_KEYUP/WM_SYSKEYUP message to be processed normally. This ensures that other applications see the key up, which prevents the key from being stuck down from the perspective of other apps when our grab is released.
