> Shouldn't that be a PostMessage instead?

It can be.  That is not a requirement, though it would speed up the
hook a bit as it wouldn't have to wait for the application's response
anymore.

> 1) We are already processing a message (possable reentrancy)

It would only be reentrant if the receiving message handler is sending
its own keystrokes, which is not the case in Vladimir's example.

> 2) We really don't care about the outcome

That is true.

> 3) It is slower (will block on ShowMessage)

Also true.
