it sounds like a poorly written app. What app is it?
well you're right there. it's a bit of a mess.
Pro Tools.

Yow.

I don't know how "up to date" ProTools is under the hood, but the code base is old enough that it wouldn't surprise me (well, actually it would) if ProTools is indeed just polling the keyboard map at times.

Sorry, if this is the case, I don't have any suggestions for you. I don't think posting an event modifies the keyboard map though I could be wrong. Even if it did, you'd have to have some way of knowing when it was safe to post the keyUp event. Alternatives like diving down into the HID layer to "fake" key presses are too depressing to contemplate.

I would investigate whether your synthesized key events are being properly posted. You can write an app to "listen" and log key press events (essentially, a key logger). Maybe you'll find that the problem is on your end. That would be a happy thing since you are at least in a position to fix it.
