GlobalHotKey Port - .NET 8
Tech Stack: C#, .NET 8, Interop / P/Invoke, Windows API (global hotkeys)
The Project
I needed a reliable global hotkey solution for a modern .NET 8 application, but the library I depended on only existed for .NET Framework 3. I ported it to .NET 8, keeping the public API familiar while updating the internals for the SDK-style project system and current Windows interop. The goal: register/unregister system‑wide shortcuts safely and predictably in desktop apps.

Status
Functional for my .NET 8 project and open to improvements. I published this package on my github and is free for use to anyone.
End Goal
Provide a small, dependable hotkey utility for modern .NET apps, reduce friction migrating from legacy .NET Framework code, and potentially publish a polished package for broader use.
