I think I read that you are 14? My compliments. Picking something
challenging at a young age is very commendable, but I find your ability
to exploit resources such as this list, much more remarkable, and, in
the big picture, much more useful, because a tremendous amount of this
type of work is about research, and, as you’re discovering the hard way,
is often the harder part of the battle. That you somehow got to this
list knowing that you needed to write a keyboard filter, at your age, is
exceptional; but that you did all of this because you were pissed off at
the way some video game works (if I recall correctly) is what I find
truly remarkable. I worked with subject matter like this when I was
your age, but I know I never would have done any of it had it not been
right in front of me and required that I demonstrate the persistence and
courage that you have. I say courage because I would have been way to
afraid to ask something on a list like this, even if such a thing had
existed.
For all of these reasons, I would like to help, but I am seriously
constrained by not knowing anything about kbfiltr, or input on Windows
in general. For all of those same reasons, I have to agree with Doron
here - you’ve got to tackle this one yourself. However, what I would
suggest, as this is presumably just a learning experience for you, you
might want to check out Ctrl2Cap first
(http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/Ctrl2Cap.mspx).
It’s an old sysinternals utility, whose Windows 95 version predates my
professional life. It used to come with source, but that seems to no
longer be the case. A quick google will find you some clones, possibly
as it were, with source code that should be taken and trusted only as
such a thing should, but it is a place to start. I really don’t
remember what exactly you’re trying to accomplish, and it probably won’t
do exactly what you need, and, all in all, this may not even be very
good advice in the big picture, but it is quite simple, and I think that
this merits its consideration in your case.
I hope this helps. I’ll be happy to answer any specific questions that
you have, anytime, but you’ve got write this one yourself. In the
future, please try to include the previous responses or at least the
original question in your posts. Otherwise, it’s very hard to
understand what you seek, and the odds of me going back to find the
original post again are not very good.
Good luck,
mm

Thanks for the replies but most of what Doron said doesn’t really make
sense to me so some examples would REALLY be helpful
