Thanx for the report Liam. I'm glad that it at least seems to be mostly working as
intended on Mac and nearly as good as on the PC in the both major browsers. (if I
didn't get you totally wrong that is ;)
I dunno why I wasn't able to restrict what keys are releasing the alert keycode
message (it was meant ot only be triggered on char keys keycodes)
Now ALT isn't made to be recognized a modifier key because of its lacking support in
NS4.x (although a lot of articles suggests it to be the most cross-platform/-browser
key).
Return/Enter maybe should've been a key property, but it seems too hard/impossible to
get it working as intended for all systems.
Dunno if it's really to be considered a bug that modifier key + char key returns
values and actions like it does. I think with a better example (and whose to blame but
me :) where a event was actually assigned this wouldn't be a problem, though I have a
feeling the best thing is to not use the modifier keys in combos, but rather as
toggling between different control modes.
Thanks a lot for the test anyways :)
Next thing up to solve is NS6-compability - a hard bullet to avoid, considering the
vast and insuficient documentation on the issue (and how far is dynapi supporting it
in this state of development?).
