i wrote this up pretty quickly so i can play some rpgmaker games using WASD instead of arrow keys because they don't let you rebind keys. it works for just about everything BUT games, like for example notepad, my browser, even the scite editor when i forget its still running and im trying to type.

i'm thinking the games are also waiting for WASD key presses and maybe have priority over my script or something. the while loop sleep delay doesn't seem to be causing it. i know only one key at a time will send i'm okay with that.

is there perhaps a better way to look out for WASD key presses? thanks for any help.
