This would be a good time to come up with a clean alternative, one
that allows for all JS mouse (button) & key actions

onBeforeKeyDown
onKeyDown
onAfterKeyDown

onBeforeKeyUp
onKeyUp
onAfterKeyUp

onBeforeKeyPress
onKeyPress
onAfterKeyPress

ditto for mouse (left & right & middle buttons & MW)

Would this qualify as a keyboard driver (or event driver). An app can
do the OnAfter & OnBefore, but it might also be useful if the app does
not handle these (not talking about JS)

Is it possible to modify the mousew.xdi to do these, in such a way
that it can be used without XaAES (with a driver loader maybe)
