Windows media hotkey events previously lacked device source information, preventing users with multiple bluetooth controllers from configuring device-specific actions.

Windows Plugin (C++)
WM_INPUT) to capture device handles alongside media key eventsGetRawInputDeviceInfocontaining vendor/product IDsWM_HOTKEY) fallback for compatibilityPlatform Interface (Dart)
addListenerWithDevice(MediaKey, String deviceId)APIint(legacy) andMap<'key', 'device'>(new)addListener(MediaKey)unchanged for backward compatibilityApplication Integration
