Keyboardtracking CTRL + "second_key" doesn't output "second_key"

[Bata94]

Not sure if it is really an issue, but I wasn't able to find something useful about this...
I am trying to track the Keyboard Inputs, of a User if they press a combination with any CTRL-Key.

The regular tracking works fine. But as soon as I press CTRL + any regular Key, the output is unusable for me, because it changes the expected Key Output completely...

In the example I am pressing & releasing "a" first, then CTRL_L, then CTRL_L + "a".

So does someone know how I can "translate" the "\x01" output to "CTRL + a" or something like that? :D
