If this works in other hosts, then it could be because these hosts parse keypress messages before Windows distributes the messages to the key focus window.
Is this not recommended, then, or something you’d rather not do?
I believe the way I’m doing it is the standard way to respond to key messages in Windows. I prefer to keep to the norm, to ensure compatibility with future Windows versions.
If so, would you suggest I ask FF again about this, and also point them to your post? Theirs are the only plug-ins I know of that exhibit this problem, but judging from some posts I’ve found here, there seem to be a few others, too.
You’re welcome to present my response to the fabfilter developers.
If you are referring to the posts about the space key (start/stop) being inactive when a plugin editor has focus, then that may not be the same problem. That could be the plugin editor responding to Podium that it used a key press, in which case Podium will not use it for its own shortcuts.
