the reason it wasn't working with notepad was that the wrong window was being added to keyclone.
notepad is a stack of windows, and if you have keyclone run it, it will take the topmost window as the input window.
the titlebar,frame and menu.. don't handle any input... so keyclone will appear to not be working.

to see the characters appear, you must manually add the edit area of the notepad... by clikcing the 'add' button... then clicking the middle of the edit area on the notepad.

have fun,
