In addition to #427 the keyboard hook generally doesn't do what you'd want. I think it is just coded incorrectly. Right now it is looking at KeyCode.character for things like LEFT and RIGHT, when those control keys send a character of 0.

Came across this doing #479 so will hold that one too, to do some general keyboard hook cleanups including fixing the leak referenced above, making existing functions work, and adding keyboard zoom.

Confirmed this is a problem win + mac both.

Right so the problem, as well as being registered n times rather than one (as pointed out in #427) is that we switch on code.character looking for VKEY_LEFT and stuff and should switch on code.virt. etc...

fairly easy to clean up and test. May do it tonight with a PR which closes this #427 and #479.

The onKeyDown handler was reading the wrong part of the data
structure, so keypresses didn't navigate patches. Moreover, the
handler was over-registered. Finally, once those problems were
fixes, make + and - zoom and unzoom the UI.

Due to an error in windows VSTGUI this doesn't fully work on
windows, with the keyboard zoom not being supported there.
See issue surge-synthesizer#500 for a description of why.
