Global hook not working properly

[tomzx]

The current version of jNativeHook (1.1.4) will stop working properly on Windows after some event (still unknown).

When it breaks, the OS global hotkeys such as F2 to edit a filename do not work anymore. The current only known fix is to reboot the machine.

See tomzx/gkm-java/issues/1.

Long time since this has been posted, but I'm still running into the same issue. I followed the build steps posted in your reference: kwhat/jnativehook#1 to which they seem to say it's been resolved. However I wasn't able to get it to work. Did you have any luck with that yourself?

Hello @sklink,

I've gone ahead and upgraded gkm/gkm-java (v0.1.0 on npm). to use JNativeHook 2.0.3 (from 1.1.4). Please give it a try and let me know if you're still having issues. If you do, please try to build up some sort of reproduceable test case if you can!
