System Information
Operating system: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit (10.0, Build 18363)
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 920M

Blender Version
Broken: 2.83.3

Short description of error
Windows Lock Screen (Windows+L) writes a single character 'l' in the Text Editor.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Open Blender.
Open a Text Editor.
Create a new text by pressing the "+ New" button.
Move your mouse on the Text Editor area.
Press Windows + L
Login by entering your password if you have.
Check that there is a letter l (lowercase of L) in the Text Editor.

I'm a coder with python script and I can no longer use Windows + L, it's dangerous. The thing that makes me confuse is I used Blender Script since a few years, I always press Windows+L all the time, since Blender 2.79 which also have the bug, but I've never remark that bug, but I remark it today. If I understand, my code is full of letters 'l'. I tried to restart Windows but the bug is still there. I updated Windows recently about a couple weeks ago.

@LazyDodo If you have the time and the interest (no worries if you don't!) you would probably be the best person to have information about this.

Do you think it's a easily fixable problem?

I did a fix a while ago to ignore spacebar as text input while holding Ctrl, 87062d4d67. Think we could also always ignore text input with the windows key pressed.

Could somebody test if this worked in earlier versions? Would be good to know if so.

For now this doesn't seem like a bug in the sense of code working not as intended. The case just seems to need special care.

With a similar fix in 87062d4d67 , I have added a check for Windows key while entering the text D14767
