## Common problems
### Some simulated input commands were not sent successfully.
Please think of the library as a high-level wrapper over Win32 `SendInput` call.
Unfortunately, this is a limitation of the API itself, according to this documentation:
- https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-sendinput#remarks
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Interface_Privilege_Isolation
The easiest way to get around this is to run your application as an administrator.
