Re: Key Press php-gtk1 592-576

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)...
