[Bug] Win-vind doesn't work with mouse without border target machine.

About Bug

I use mouse without borders (MWB) software to control two PCs with one keyboard and mouse. Win-vind shortcuts don't work with that. It works fine without it. Other keyboard intercepting apps work fine (autohotkey, etc.).

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install and set up MWB on two PCs.
  2. Install win-vind on PC1 (target) and connect keyboard/mouse to PC2 (main controller).
  3. Move the mouse to PC1 and try to use win-vind.

This may be a similar problem to #142, but win-vind intentionally does not recognize any input other than the physical keyboard to avoid infinite deadlocks with its own generated key messages. However, since the AHK works fine, then there may be some solutions.

Is there a way to add an application whitelist in an experimental build? I don't know enough C# to do it myself but I wouldn't mind doing it if pointed in the right direction.

I haven't found the solution for an whitelist for key messages yet.

If you can contributes the development of win-vind using C++, the CONTRIBUTING.md document will help you.

In this reply, I have mentioned the code location, which comprehensively treats all key messages, regarding this issue. If you have any questions, such as the setup of the environments and the specification and so on, please feel free to question.

Thanks.
