Hello,
Is there a way i can monitor keyboard inputs while the window is out of focus?

No, but you can read mouse position
BTW, no Windows application allows what you want

are you telling me keyloggers are just imposible on Windows? ;x

Surely I can make a background program that can watch to see if you press F7 or something, right?
I've seen plenty of applications that do it.

Ok, sorry :)
It's just not a common feature

Ah.
Does anybody maybe know of another library that continuously monitors keyboard inputs?

Why do you need to do this?

I'm almost sure it is possible by using the Win32API. Maybe this helps? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms644990(v=vs.85).aspx

It's been a long time since I've studied such things.

That looks promising, but how do I use it in ruby?

I think my poor English won't allow me to explain this properly.

You have very basic info here -> http://dreauwlab.netne.net/?p=76

And looks like there's an example on how to use the functions you need here -> http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=40319 - but he seems to be using another class than the default ruby Win32API class. I didn't look at the example code (you can download it).
