I'm a software developer in DE.
When writing code or in English i use an US keyboard layout (i know where all the keys are on the DEU QWERTZ) but when writing in DEU (e.g. mail, chat) i switch these apps to the DEU layout.

Hence, using the Virtual Keycodes as suggested in the README are not helping in my use case, as some apps are using the DEU and others the ENG layout. Thus this app is not working in one of the languages.

Being able to spec the hardware scan codes would help (here at the cost of a bit portability).

unsuccessful quick-n-dirty fix

Using scan codes is possible in AHK and i tried to redirect the DEU scenario with an AHK script like so:

!SC029::
	SoundBeep, 200 ; just to see that this is being executed
	SendEvent {Alt down}{`}{Alt up}
Return

Seems like that this app is registered before AHK and none of the Send[xxx] commands are working either.
