Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Reproduce the hotkey behavior in both the desktop version and the focused website using AutoSplit on Ubuntu/KDE X11, then verify that the selected split key triggers a split without being inserted into a textbox.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

it seems LiveSplitOne doesn't detect inputs sent by a 3rd party program, I tried to use Toufool's AutoSpliter on Linux (Ubuntu 24.10 with KDE X11) with this and when it's supposed to split LiveSplit doesn't split. Note that the autosplit program sends inputs properly (though I don't know how they're doing that), as a test I set my split key to the letter/key "A" and it typed it in a textbox, hence why I'm reporting this here as it seems to be related to this project specifically, also not sure if it works (or not) on the other operating systems

Edit: I forgot to mention it but I'm using the desktop version, that said I also tried on the website and same behavior (with the page focused/active)
