Hi, Brewster,
This sort of question would normally go to the [email protected] list,
where the low level types hang out. I might discuss the detailed UI
design on [email protected], where the UI people tend to hang out, and
this list for library related items themselves. At least that would be
my take on it.
Yes, the buttons should work.
They appear to be keyboard keys.
I don't remember if we have X keysyms all hooked up for them this
instant or not, but it should be possible without much trouble: we only
got rotation running very recently.
On the BTest-1 systems, holding multiple keys down at once may not
result in separate key events; this should be fixed in BTest-2.
Best regards,
- Jim Gettys
