HolzShots.Input.Keyboard

Global Hotkey library used in HolzShots.

Usage of Hotkey primitives:

var hook = KeyboardHookSelector.CreateHookForCurrentPlatform(someForm);
// someForm can be anything that implements ISynchronizeInvoke

var hk = new Hotkey(Input.Keyboard.ModifierKeys.Shift, Keys.F8);
hk.KeyPressed += (hook, h) => Console.WriteLine($"Hotkey pressed: {h}");

hook.RegisterHotkey(hk);

var hk2 = Hotkey.Parse("Shift+F9");
hk2.KeyPressed += (hook, h) => Console.WriteLine($"Hotkey pressed: {h}");

hook.RegisterHotkey(hk2);

// Clean up:
hook.UnregisterHotkey(hk2);

hook.UnregisterAllHotkeys();

The Hotkey class can be serialized to Windows Forms Settings as well as re-instantiated using Hotkey.Parse(hk.ToString()). You may also implement a JSON converter to parse hotkey strings from JSON config files.
