As Paul suggested, I guess this is a platform specific issue because under windows, evt.keyChar is being define for the "special keys".

For things such as function keys, arrow keys, and most unicode characters, the value will be None. You can check any of these other attributes to determine what was pressed: evt.keyCode, evt.rawKeyCode, evt.unicodeChar, evt.unicodeKey. Depending on the situation, one or more of these may be useful. -- Ed Leafe -- http://leafe.com -- http://dabodev.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users Searchable Archives: http://leafe.com/archives/search/dabo-users This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/dabo-users/4AF0F785-1FAC-4D16-BA0A-01C5F7508 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- No virus found in this incoming message.
