BUG: RWin keyhook error

Checks

  • [x] I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

  • [x] I am using the latest version of Flow Launcher.

  • [ ] I am using the prerelease version of Flow Launcher.

Problem Description

a big mistake ? I installed FlowLauncher (FL) normally and changed the global hotkey for opening FL to RWin. After the initial search, I can't press the letters C, V, or A (maybe more). -> It's theoretically as if the Control key is pressed, but physically it isn't.

Only after a complete restart does everything work again.

To Reproduce

  1. install FlowLauncher
  2. change global Key to open FlowLauncher to RWin (rest all default-settings)
  3. restart
  4. open FlowLauncher -> search any
  5. windows doesn't accept normal c / v / a

As I remember, PR to support win hotkey was tested in detail. I cannot reproduce that and am not sure what is happening here.

@jjw24 Since win hotkey is implemented by your package. Do you have any thought on this?

Will see if I can repro.

The bug is still present in the latest version.

new Findings: It's not a virtually pressed Control key, but the Windows key.
