This does look good - thank you muchly. I'm pretty happy using low level hooks here as it seems to work, just needs solid implementation. I'm going to save the above code snippet though, and if I encounter any issues - i'll be switching over.

Sounds correct, I will make this change now.

I'm not yet familiar with

IDisposable

IDisposable

- so I wasn't able to fully put your above recommendation to practice. Maybe I will do some research if you think an alternative method involving this would be better.

❔ Issue with GlobalMouseKeyHook / Global Hotkeys.

What are your thoughts on this implementation?

using GTAToolkit.Extensions;
using H.Hooks;

namespace GTAToolkit.Hotkeys
{
    public class CreateHotkeyEvent
    {
        public static LowLevelKeyboardHook keyboardHook = new LowLevelKeyboardHook();
        public static void Do()
        {
            keyboardHook.Down += (_, args) => 
            {
                if (args.Keys.Are(Key.Shift, Key.D0))
                {
                    // Shows/hides window via ')' hotkey
                    ConsoleExtensions.ShowHideWindow();
                }
            };
            keyboardHook.Start();
        }
    }
}

using GTAToolkit.Extensions;
using H.Hooks;

namespace GTAToolkit.Hotkeys
{
    public class CreateHotkeyEvent
    {
        public static LowLevelKeyboardHook keyboardHook = new LowLevelKeyboardHook();
        public static void Do()
        {
            keyboardHook.Down += (_, args) => 
            {
                if (args.Keys.Are(Key.Shift, Key.D0))
                {
                    // Shows/hides window via ')' hotkey
                    ConsoleExtensions.ShowHideWindow();
                }
            };
            keyboardHook.Start();
        }
    }
}

I then have another method to detect console closing which will Dispose the public keyboardHook.

❔ Issue with GlobalMouseKeyHook / Global Hotkeys.

It doesn’t touch or interact with the game in any way. It is simply a tool to simplify file generation, and other things required in FiveM development

Program is completely external. It does nothing with the live game. Simply creates its own files that can be later used within fivem

Totally agree - was just my way to test. I will look into a clean implementation now

❔ Issue with GlobalMouseKeyHook / Global Hotkeys.

Thanks for your suggestion. Here's my implementation, however nothing is written to the console when the keys are pressed.

using H.Hooks;

namespace GTAToolkit.Hotkeys
{
    public class CreateHotkeyEvent
    {
        public static void Do()
        {
            /*Hook.GlobalEvents().KeyPress += (sender, e) =>
            {
                if (e.KeyChar == ')')
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("stop");
                    ConsoleExtensions.ChangeRunningState();
                }
                else if(e.KeyChar == '(')
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("hide");
                    ConsoleExtensions.ShowHideWindow();
                }
            };*/

            using var keyboardHook = new LowLevelKeyboardHook();
            keyboardHook.Down += (_, args) => 
            {
                if (args.Keys.Are(Key.Control, Key.LeftShift))
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("key detected");
                }
            };

            keyboardHook.Start();

        }
    }
}

using H.Hooks;

namespace GTAToolkit.Hotkeys
{
    public class CreateHotkeyEvent
    {
        public static void Do()
        {
            /*Hook.GlobalEvents().KeyPress += (sender, e) =>
            {
                if (e.KeyChar == ')')
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("stop");
                    ConsoleExtensions.ChangeRunningState();
                }
                else if(e.KeyChar == '(')
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("hide");
                    ConsoleExtensions.ShowHideWindow();
                }
            };*/

            using var keyboardHook = new LowLevelKeyboardHook();
            keyboardHook.Down += (_, args) => 
            {
                if (args.Keys.Are(Key.Control, Key.LeftShift))
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("key detected");
                }
            };

            keyboardHook.Start();

        }
    }
}

A FiveM development tool. Will have a bunch of different development things I need on the fly which can be accessed without un-focusing the game.
