[livesplit-hotkey] Ability to prevent hotkeys from propagating to other programs

[Xevion]

Hello - I am looking for a crate with the ability to (on Windows) add a global hook for listening to specific hotkeys (like WIN+ALT+LEFT|RIGHT).
I want to be able to prevent these hotkeys from propagating to whatever program is currently selected.
Which is problem, as livesplit-hotkey does not do that - the hotkeys are still received by whatever program is currently selected.

Researching the matter, I'm really unsure of how the Windows APIs work, if what I want is even possible, and whether LiveSplit might ever carry the feature in the future. Given the nature of your app, I get the feeling the answer is 'no', but I might hope that you'll have some small insight available for how I could proceed.

I'm fine with you closing this issue immediately - I'm only hoping for some assistance since I have a really close MVP based on livesplit-hotkey; I don't want to be re-engineering an entire hotkey library for the sole purpose of preventing hotkey propagation.

• I am only looking for a Windows solution - other platforms need not bother.
• My intended program will ONLY be listening to hotkeys - few/no windows.
