Hi Ashok,
thanks for great TWAPI.

It would be great, if there would be a send and hold modifier for the Windows key in twapi::send_keys like for SHIFT.

For example, the Ease of Access Center requires to press WIN_L+u:

Currently, only the low-level functiion is available.

This is no big problem, just a proposal for beauty ;-)

Thanks again,
Harald

    Would not be hard to do and would be useful. However introducing a special character for this would potentially break compatibility with both VBA's SendKeys (which send_keys is meant to emulate) as well as existing twapi uses of send_keys.

    So reluctant to add.
