Events - Universal Modifier Keys

Post by User »

Because EventGhost distinguishes between left/right modifier keys, for a simple hotkey like Ctrl+Alt+Shift+U, I need to add the following events to account for every possible combination:
  • Keyboard.LShift+LCtrl+LAlt+U
  • Keyboard.LShift+LCtrl+RAlt+U
  • Keyboard.LShift+RCtrl+LAlt+U
  • Keyboard.LShift+RCtrl+RAlt+U
  • Keyboard.RShift+LCtrl+LAlt+U
  • Keyboard.RShift+LCtrl+RAlt+U
  • Keyboard.RShift+RCtrl+LAlt+U
  • Keyboard.RShift+RCtrl+RAlt+U
This would be much easier:
  • Keyboard.Shift+Ctrl+Alt+U
Can we get an option for that in a future release? As is, EventGhost is far too cumbersome to be used as a hotkey manager. I accept that this may not be the application's intended purpose, but if it's one small tweak away from being a suitable AutoHotkey replacement, why not push it over the edge?
