shouldDispatchEvent method

bool shouldDispatchEvent()

Whether a key down event, and likewise its accompanying key up event, should be dispatched.

Certain events on some platforms should not be dispatched to listeners according to Flutter's event model. For example, on macOS, Fn keys are skipped to be consistent with other platform. On Win32, events dispatched for IME (VK_PROCESSKEY) are also skipped.

This method will be called upon every down events. By default, this method always return true. Subclasses should override this method to define the filtering rule for the platform. If this method returns false for an event message, the event will not be dispatched to listeners, but respond with "handled: true" immediately. Moreover, the following up event with the same physical key will also be skipped.
