Right modifiers are not correctly indicated in KeyPressed/KeyReleased events.

Please explain the KeyboardHookEventArgs content in the EventLoopGlobalHook.KeyPressed event.

When I press the right Ctrl key in Windows...

• the RawEvent/Mask shows "RightCtrl"
• the Data/RawCode shows "163" (which, according to the Microsoft Virtual Keycode list, is the right Ctrl key),
• the Data/KeyCode shows "VcLeftControl"

Why doesn't Data/KeyCode show "VcRightControl"?

Hi! Thanks for posting this issue!

Could you please share libuiohook debug logs? I cannot currently tell you what's wrong, because from looking at code it seems like the right Ctrl should work without problems on Windows.

I tried to implement logging by following the "Using High-Level Types" example. I can create the logSource instance and add the event handler, but I never get any events.

Do you get "VcRightControl" when you press the right Ctrl key?

[TolikPylypchuk]

You should set the log level to debug:

var logSource = LogSource.RegisterOrGet(minLevel: LogLevel.Debug);

Then you should be able to get logs for every input event.

Unfortunately, my laptop doesn't have a right Ctrl key so I cannot test it 😅 I'll try to find a keyboard with this key though.

Thanks.

I think this is the relevant part from the log:

Debug : set_always_enumerate_displays [42]: Setting always_enumerate_displays to 0

It's the same problem with the right Alt key, but the right Shift key is OK.
