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)...

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?
