When a default Windows "Win" key shortcut is overridden, the enduring event (triggered by TriggerEnduringEvent) is broken.
Test case:
Create a new macro to, say, run calc.exe, then assign two already-bound keys to it, such as Keyboard.LWin+E (launches Windows Explorer) and Keyboard.LWin+F (launches Windows Search).
Hold down LWin, hit E. Calculator launches.
Without letting go of LWin, hit F. Calculator doesn't launch, and EventGhost logs Keyboard.F instead of the expected Keyboard.LWin+F.
It appears this will need to be fixed in cFunctions. To whoever takes on this task, just a reminder: I'd love to see native support for universal modifiers as well.
Cheers!

Many thanks, Pako, for filling so many of myrequests in r1600. Is there anything at all I can do, though, to aid in the troubleshooting of this one? This is the last thing keeping me from uninstalling my other hotkey managers for good.

You can find a fix for it. I see that you are a good programmer.
I've previously looked at the Keyboard plugin code and I do not understand.
That's too complicated for me.
Ah, too bad. Compliment accepted and appreciated, but I'm actually in the same boat as you -- I browsed through the cFunctions code a couple times a few months back, shrugged my shoulders, and moved on with my life. Even if I'm able to figure out the logic at some point, I have absolutely no idea how to get it to compile. It seems we'll just have to leave this one to minds greater than ours.
