Ctrl+shift+0 in windows 10

The game is World of Warcraft.  Ctrl+Shift+0 was bound to a specific action back when I was running under Windows 7.  When I upgraded to Windows 10, it stopped working, but the game's key-binding menu showed that Ctrl+Shift+0 was still bound to the action.

I tried adding Ctrl+Shift+0 as an action for something else, and this is where it gets interesting.  You add a key mapping by clicking on one of the items in the Key Bindings screen, and then pressing the key combination you want to use.  The game doesn't even think any keys are being pressed when I try to do this!  In other words, Ctrl+Shift+0 is being intercepted at the O/S level before the game even sees it.

Note: By Ctrl+Shift+0, I mean holding down Ctrl and Shift, and pressing the 0 key on the main keyboard, not the 0 key on the numeric keypad.  In other words, it's the 0 key with the ) printed above the 0.

Hey Roger,

Late reply, but I am seeing this issue too.  I've done a bit of digging around and it appears that the KeyDown event is not getting through in some cases for Ctrl+Shift+0, but the KeyUp event is.  WOW must be listening for the KeyDown events when doing the binding which is likely causing the error that you're seeing.

Interestingly enough, if you use AutoHotkey (which has a keyboard event spy), you can see that it is properly receiving all of the KeyDown events (repeated if you hold down 0), so they must be receiving events differently from how WOW is.

FWIW, my scenario is using the C# Console.ReadKey API, which internally calls the Kernel32.dll ReadConsoleInput API.  I'm going to try and see if I can determine how autohotkey listens for events, but it's possible it's just using the normal windows event pump.
