Re: Re: [PHP-GTK] Key Press php-gtk1

Hi Brian, Just a thought here. You said "you must choose two keys on the keyboard that cannot be pressed using only one hand." If detecting two keys requires a lot of coding, how about detecting one keypress + one mouse click? It's much easier (less than 10 lines of coding), and I think people will need to use two hands to press a key and do a mouse click (unless they pick up the mouse with one hand, press the left mouse button, and then use the mouse to hit the keyboard)... Regards, /kksou It appears that in php-gtk1 the GDK_KEY_Shift_L and GDK_KEY_Shift_R are both equivalent to keyval 65505. I've decided the key repeat issue is a non-issue. It doesn't appear to overflow the buffer and cause the annoying internal PC speaker beeping. The reason for wanting to use Shift is that key does not repeat. But as I said, I believe it is a non-issue. If you want to see what I mean set up a key-pressed and key-released situation. Pressing most keys and holding will result in repeated "key-pressed" events but only one key-release" events. Shift, ctrl and a few others only register one key-pressed no matter how long you hold it down. F12, etc also register multiple key-pressed events when held down. On a side note, how many tab keys does your keyboard have?
