AudioSwitcher ignores service keys

[sambul13]

I suggest to automatically block assigning some common shortcuts used in Windows and popular browsers. As well, Audio switching should be disabled when typing in TextAreas in browsers, or generally typing a text in a Text Editor or similar program, while listening to a sound played by another program or browser tab.

For example, when typing in forum textfields in Firefox, while listening to a Youtube music in another tab, AudioSwitcher frequently changes speakers when some letters are entered, despite they don't match shortcuts. For example, while I type "D3" on this board or even "3", audio switcher changed to speaker assigned to Alt+3 combo. Typing in textareas should not result in switching speakers, or disregarding Control or Alt keys. May be switching should only work, when textarea field is inactive?

In fact, I just check, and AudioSwitcher disregards service keys also outside of textareas. I just punch 2 or 3 while Desktop is active, and it switches speakers assigned to Alt+2 and Alt+3.

That's entirely unmanageable, there's no way to create a list of shortcut keys that browsers or other applications use.

Users can change any of those.

If a hotkey conflicts from Audio Switcher, then I suggest changing the hotkey in Audio Switcher to something else.

I'm just going to test the alt modifier and see if it is ignoring it.

Looks like it's doing something weird with the alt key modifier, can be re-produced fairly easily.

Only seems to affect hotkeys using just the alt modifier alone, eg. crtl+alt works as expected.
