Passes KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY through keyboard key-down and key-up simulation, while removing physical modifier tracking and the related AltGr workaround.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling of extended keyboard keys during simulated key presses and releases.
    • Removed legacy modifier-key handling that could generate unintended Control key events.
    • Retained MSI firmware workaround support.
  • Improvements

    • Improved installation reliability by automatically retrying failed installation steps before reporting an error.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change removes physical modifier tracking and synthetic LControl releases. It preserves KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY for simulated keyboard events. The publishing workflow retries failed Inno Setup installations up to three times.

Changes

Keyboard input handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Remove physical modifier tracking
HandheldCompanion/Managers/InputsManager.cs
The global keyboard hook no longer tracks physical modifiers, classifies modifier keys, or synthesizes an LControl key-up after physical RMenu release.
Preserve extended-key flags
HandheldCompanion/Simulators/KeyboardSimulator.cs
KeyDown and KeyUp now pass KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY when the event includes that flag.

Publishing workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Retry Inno Setup installation
.github/workflows/publish-hc.yml
The installation step retries up to three times, waits 15 seconds between failed attempts, and throws after the final failure.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0cffa

The publishing workflow may report failure after a successful Chocolatey installation when a reboot-related success code is returned, causing an avoidable release interruption; the PR is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner follow-up.

P2 Badge Restore the AltGr Ctrl cleanup path

When a physical Keys.RMenu/AltGr key-up reaches this fall-through path, the handler no longer sends the guarded LControl key-up that was just removed. The new extended-flag replay only affects events that remain in BufferKeys, so it does not cover consumed OEM/hotkey chords where the buffer is cleared before returning; on keyboard layouts where AltGr produces the synthetic left-Ctrl component, releasing AltGr after such a consumed chord can leave Ctrl logically held until another Ctrl event occurs.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Handle Chocolatey success exit codes explicitly.

The pinned innosetup package allows exit codes 0, 3010, and 1641. Capture $LASTEXITCODE, treat those values as success, and retry only for other failures. The windows-latest runner does not require an additional --yes flag for non-interactive execution.
