Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/810

Operating Systems

Server: Windows 10 19041.388

Client: Windows 10 17763.1217

Barrier Version

2.3.2-snapshot-210c2b70

Steps to reproduce bug

Run an AHK script that listens for key presses (e.g. my script to convert @@ to your email )
Test on client keyboard, it should work
Test on server keyboard, AHK listeners aren't fired

Other info

When did the problem start to occur?
Always
Is there a way to work around it?
No
Does this bug prevent you from using Barrier entirely?
No

Please can a fix be made so mirrored key presses can trigger AHK or a suggestion for a work-around? Many thanks

@FreddieDev Did you ever figure out something for this? I run AHK on server side and everything works as expected. On Client side nothing works.
