Windows key modifier

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'd really love to see the windows key (LWin/RWin) to be added as a possible 
modifier.

I've used a few other tools before (using Greenshot at the moment) and I really 
prefer the Win+S combination for region screenshots and Shift+Win+S for window 
screenshots.

Keys enum in .NET not even contains Windows key as modifiers as you can see 
here:

So when i press Windows key + A then ShareX getting first Windows key and then 
A key. Instead getting Windows key + A together. So i can't use it as modifier. 
I need to use  global keyboard hook for be able to use Windows modifier i 
think. And i don't prefer to use global keyboard hook.

When i press Windows + A in Greenshot it showing ctrl + alt + A.

I went through their code and they used it as a modifier. Also, at the time you 
can't set the Windows key through the GUI, but it does work if you do modify 
the config file manually.

I can set it manually too using Keys.LWin | Keys.S but when setting hotkeys in 
form, form keydown event don't recognize windows key as modifier and therefore 
not showing them together in keydown event. So i can't set it. Currently i'm 
using like this hotkey setting ui: 
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14076298/ShareX/2013/09/4QueoYTZmN.png So i'm not 
using dropdown menu for select keys anymore and if that button can't receive 
windows key as modifier then i'm unable to set it.

I can't even edit keys enum in settings file for add LWin + S because those two 
key is not flag.

Because keys enum not support this modifier i added bool called Win so you can 
edit it from config file like this: 
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14076298/ShareX/2013/09/cqvFbTEVjS.png

and also because form events using this keys enum i can't get Windows modifier 
state therefore it should be set from config.
