Sorry. I was a bit too fast on my last reply. No - This gnome "mouse pointer locate code" does not work for my issue!
If this option is set in gnome no application will get the KeyPress event for Control_L or Control_R anymore ! (Which is not a big problem because Control is a modifier and the state is set in the KeyPress event of other keys) Try it with xev :) When I do a XAllowEvents(.. ReplayKeyboard ..) in my KeyPress handler other apps will get the KeyPress events but my application will never get a KeyRelease event afterwards for the grabbed key :( any ideas ?? > On Tue, 2003-10-21 at 07:56, Peter Bergmann wrote: > > > Can anyone tell me how to query the real state of a specific key > > (Pressed/Released?) with xlib ? > > Does xkb offer functions for this issue? > > XKB allows you to switch to "detectable auto-repeat" mode, where you > get Press/Press/Press/Release rather than > Press/Release Press/Release Press/Release. > > You can emulate this on servers without XKB by looking at the timestamps > for the events.
