I have AutoHotKey and ShareX. The first reads keystrokes from anywhere, and the second takes screenshots from anywhere and anything.
It's pretty clear that Windows applications most definitely can do that.

And if he is, that's an absolutely academical points as 99% of all Windows-users runs zero applications from the store. Nothing like an imaginary straw-man argument on the internet, eh? :)
- raptorfactor 10y agoIt's cute that you're accusing someone of an "imaginary straw-man" as you then proceed to pull crap like "99% of all Windows-users do [...]" out of your ass. Source? Or is it okay for you to make stuff up as long as nobody else does? ;)
