Global hook not working properly #1

Open tomzx opened 10 years ago

tomzx commented 10 years ago

The current version of jNativeHook (1.1.4) will stop working properly on Windows after some event (still unknown).

When it breaks, the OS global hotkeys such as F2 to edit a filename do not work anymore. The current only known fix is to reboot the machine.

See tomzx/gkm-java/issues/1.

Long time since this has been posted, but I'm still running into the same issue. I followed the build steps posted in your reference: https://github.com/kwhat/jnativehook/issues/1 to which they seem to say it's been resolved. However I wasn't able to get it to work. Did you have any luck with that yourself?

Hello @sklink,

I've gone ahead and upgraded gkm/gkm-java (v0.1.0 on npm). to use JNativeHook 2.0.3 (from 1.1.4). Please give it a try and let me know if you're still having issues. If you do, please try to build up some sort of reproduceable test case if you can!
