Description

it seems LiveSplitOne doesn't detect inputs sent by a 3rd party program, I tried to use [Toufool's AutoSpliter](https://github.com/Toufool/AutoSplit) on Linux (Ubuntu 24.10 with KDE X11) with this and when it's supposed to split LiveSplit doesn't split. Note that the autosplit program sends inputs properly (though I don't know how they're doing that), as a test I set my split key to the letter/key "A" and it typed it in a textbox, hence why I'm reporting this here as it seems to be related to this project specifically, also not sure if it works (or not) on the other operating systems

Edit: I forgot to mention it but I'm using the desktop version, that said I also tried on the website and same behavior (with the page focused/active)
