First of all, thank you very much for a very nice program.

I have but one issue. If I press Win+Space+L (to move a window to the right of the screen in Windows), Windows 10 will lock the screen, even if Space is kept pressed. This is not a huge issue, but somewhat annoying, as I often use use Win+Arrow Keys to move windows around.

The shortcut for locking the screen is Win+L.

I would rather not change the hotkey for locking the screen, so perhaps you could see if there is a solution to this.

I would expect Win+L to be handled at a low level before TouchCursor gets a chance to interfere. Otherwise one could write some malware that throws up a fake lock screen and harvests passwords. So unfortunately, I don't think this can be solved.

I think you might be correct.

Looking at this Stackoverflow post and the comments it seems like this was possible on Windows XP, but not on newer Windows versions.
