how to use OnKeyDown so it doesn't block other addon nor the game itself

Hello,

I have this part in my addon

Lua Code:

local function onKeyDown(self, key)
    -- code
end
 
local frame = CreateFrame("Frame")
frame:EnableKeyboard(true)
frame:SetScript("OnKeyDown", onKeyDown)

Obviously, as it is written down in the api, it block everything else to use keyboard events. So, what is the method to know what key is pressed without blocking everything?

You might want to look into frame:SetPropagateKeyboardInput().
