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.
