Description
Send keys to inactive window refers to the feature of being able to send key event messages to a target application using "setWin", "focusWin", "sendStr", and "sendKeys", such that regardless of which application is in focus, the desired key events register to the target application.
This feature is limited in nature and may react/behave differently per target application as well as how keyboard generally works. For instance, a target application may have unique program/child structure that prevents, rejects, or denies, particular keys and can effectively prevent this feature to work on the target application.
In addition to this possibility of uncertain limitation, sending keys events to an inactive window also have misconceptions, and certain commonly used combination keys may not be fully supported in terms of only be sent to the target application. JRVSInputs uses global modifiers in conjunction with supported keys in order to achieve the effect of triggering these shortcuts/combination keys at the target application, such as select-all (ctrl+a), copy (ctrl+c), etc.
For a list of keys that can be send only to the target application, view "sendKeys".
