Ability to send key presses to non-active window #457

Open AndreasArvidsson opened 2 years ago

AndreasArvidsson commented 2 years ago

Nowadays I use a lot of browser based conferencing services that have no support for global hotkeys. It would be nice if talon could send key presses to the browser even if the browser is not the active application/window.

Which OS?

AndreasArvidsson commented 2 years ago

Primary win10 but also Linux if possible.

It's possible to do this sort of thing, but it's janky, OS specific, and app specific. Basically you need to post fake input events directly to the window's message queue, which is totally different from our normal method of input sim. I'll look into it.

Okay Firefox is my browser of choice. Thanks!

I think you've duplicated this in #464, closing that one
