Support for MouseWithoutBorders

[jg-cqc]

The Microsoft Garage utility "MouseWithoutBorders" is a Windows utility that allows the sharing of one keyboard/mouse pair across two or more physical machines. I am a software developer and find it very useful - I rely on it heavily.

PROBLEM: The AltAppSwitcher keymappings are unconditionally captured by the machine having the physical keyboard (let's call it the master machine).
DESIRED BEHAVIOUR: When focus is moved to a slave machine using the mouse, and Alt_Tab (or similar) is pressed then it would be good if it would activate the taskswitcher on that slave machine, instead of the master.

I hope this makes sense.

The problem seems to be the same whether or not AltAppSwitcher is installed on the slave machine.

I must say also: Thank you. I have been looking for something like this for a long time now. If I get a chance I will look at finding a solution to this MouseWithoutBorders issue and propose in a PR or similar.
Thanks again

Thanks for the feedback !🙂 I don't know if I can setup a repro case on my side.
The issue is maybe not trivial as AAS is using low level keyboard hooks to intercept inputs, and MouseWithoutBorders might do the same. Hooks can handle physical and non physical key differently. Also, hooks might have inconsistent behavior depending on their order in the hook chain. I'll think about it 👍
