Hey guys, I just tackled this issue on Windows 8.1, and by far the most elegant solution I found was using AutoHotkey. Check out this post on Superuser.com

Windows 8 changed the functionality of the windows key a lot, so I think you should reconsider your stance of " I never imagined on anyone wanting to hit modifier keys by themselves." I found this thread, and control+escape will work just fine, but I was sitting there frustrated for a few minutes before looking it up. You would be doing other people a favor to make considerations for the start screen.

Thanks, this worked for me. I'm really glad tbs made that driver, otherwise this would have been a big headache. With the release of Windows 8 only a couple weeks away, I'd hope that you get the installer updated very soon.
