Build 14: New code for injecting keystrokes

[Freddie]

Does HotKeyNet have this same problem?

Nope. HotkeyNet is very good at making sure it sends key releases.

I'm glad you asked this question because it hadn't occurred to me to think about how I handled this in HotkeyNet. The two programs are so different, I didn't think HotkeyNet could help. But actually, it uses a trick that could work in Mojo too.

Here's how HotkeyNet does it. Every time you press a key that triggers an action, HotkeyNet thinks ahead and figures out what it will do in the future when your finger releases the key. It writes a little note that tells itself what to do at that future time and puts it in a table. Then it performs the action for the key press.

Later, when you lift your finger, HotkeyNet looks in the table to see what it should do. By that time the local computer's state may have changed -- you may have alt tabbed, you may have closed a window, you may have done all kinds of things -- but that doesn't matter because HotkeyNet already decided, back when the computer was in an earlier state, what to do in this later state.

Edit: By the way, hotkeys seem to be working now in Mojo. I just wrote the web documentation and I'll probably post a build in a few hours after I test it some more. Also I need to temporarily disable a bunch of new stuff that's half finished so people don't wonder if they should tell me it's half finished.
