Path: utzoo!utgpu!utfyzx!oscvax!rico From: rico@oscvax.UUCP (Rico Mariani) Newsgroups: comp.sys.amiga Subject: to RAWKEY or not to RAWKEY Message-ID: <552@oscvax.UUCP> Date: Wed, 16-Dec-87 11:46:43 EST Distribution: na Organization: Ontario Science Centre, Toronto Lines: 25 All this talk about the whys and wherefores of RAWKEY has seriously confused me so I'm going to ask a direct question: I want to know when the key that is in the position that the 'A' key normally is in (I don't care if the guy's using DVORAK or whatever the position is what's important) goes down and when it goes up. That's all. I don't want any escape sequences. I don't want any accents. I only want to know about the current state of the 'A' key. I don't care (in fact I prefer) if I stop getting messages when my window isn't active. Can I use the code field from an intuition RAWKEY directly without commiting a cardinal programming sin? If no then what the #@$!% am I supposed to do? Somebody talk to me (any subject will do :-) ) -Rico -- ...{watmath|allegra|decvax|ihnp4|linus}!utzoo!oscvax!rico or oscvax!rico@gpu.toronto.EDU if you're lucky [NSA food: terrorist, cryptography, DES, drugs, CIA, secret, decode] [CSIS food: supermailbox, tuna, fiberglass coffins, Mirabel, microfiche] [Cat food: Nine Lives, Cat Chow, Meow Mix, Crave]
