Get the original pressed key

[tisonkun]

Reported at GreptimeTeam/demo-scene#2.

More simpler repro: Shift + 3 will result in Key.shfit + # instead of Key.shfit + 3.

Is it possible we get exactly the key pressed? Or this is a limitation of sys API or hardware API.

I noticed that https://github.com/LaunchMenu/node-global-key-listener can get properly 3,true,LEFT SHIFT,true for Shift + 3.

Thank you for your report.

On Windows, the keyboard listener explicitly includes the currently active modifiers when translating the keyboard event (represented by KBDLLHOOKSTRUCT) into a character representation (see here).

It would certainly be possible to perform an additional lookup without any modifiers active, but I would need to consider a reasonable way to integrate this, and implement similar functionality for the other platforms as well.
