Description

### Checks

- [x] I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

- [x] I am using the latest version of Flow Launcher.

- [ ] I am using the prerelease version of Flow Launcher.

### Problem Description

a big mistake ?
I installed FlowLauncher (FL) normally and changed the global hotkey for opening FL to RWin.
After the initial search, I can't press the letters C, V, or A (maybe more).
-> It's theoretically as if the Control key is pressed, but physically it isn't.

Only after a complete restart does everything work again.

### To Reproduce

1. install FlowLauncher
2. change global Key to open FlowLauncher to RWin (rest all default-settings)
3. restart
4. open FlowLauncher -> search any
5. windows doesn't accept normal c / v / a

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported sequence on Flow Launcher 1.20.2 with Windows 10.0.19045.6093: set the global hotkey to RWin, restart, open the launcher, and search. Done means opening the launcher no longer leaves C, V, A, or other letters behaving as if Control is held, without requiring a full system restart.
