Ignore modifiers (alt, shift, ctrl) and always pass to host #10

Closed lukaszsmoczynski closed 3 months ago

In my case I never want to control media on RDP, so it makes no sense to sense to not pass them do host.

Reason behind this is that I mapped CTRL + VOLUME UP as NEXT TRACK, but because modifiers block passing media button to host it will never work. Also I'm not sure if that's intended, but Shift is not mentioned in readme, yet it also blocks the script.

Modifiers are not blocked, they are just not bound. The example in the readme is there just as a useful tip for some.

You can modify the PassToLocalMachine function using this example I gave in another issue: https://github.com/neon-dev/RDPHotkeyHelper/issues/9#issuecomment-2108866125

Then add this line

^Volume_Up::PassToLocalMachine("Media_Next")

above the modified function, so CTRL + VOLUME UP will switch to the next track.

That makes sense. I'd suggest to add brief info about that in readme, but beside that I'm good.
