    Keyboards generate repeated downs. You're worried about software doing something that every keyboard does constantly.

    If you open Notepad and hold down the X key, you'll get a stream of X's because the keyboard automatically repeats X down, X down, X down, X down for a long as you hold the key.

    When you see Mojo sending repeated key downs, the source is the keyboard. Mojo is seeing your keyboard generate repeats, so Mojo broadcasts the repeats to the non-focused windows.

    The result is simply that the non-focused WoW's see the same thing that they would have seen if they had the focus and you were using only the keyboard.

    Perhaps you could interpret this to help me understand it better; is Mojo trying to tell the window I am repeatedly pressing the key (albeit impossible, without releasing it), or is it all quite normal, and I just didn't know that it did it anyway (even with a single window and no Mojo)? Your last line seems to say its not a problem I think? So my keyboard sends these repeated key downs anyway, not just the first key down then wait?
    Sorry, I only saw this after I posted the above. Maybe my post crossed with your edit, I don't know.

    Yes, your last sentence is correct. Your keyboard sends these repeated downs all the time.

    Like I said above, if you open a word processor and hold a key down, you'll see the automatic repeats happen. (I know you've seen this a zillion times, but maybe you didn't connect it with what happens when you play WoW.)
