Hi all,
as far as I know Unix and Windows structures I would say the only way
would be to interfere with the keyboard driver. Even on Windows I
have never heard of any tool like that (except for tools used in
training environments, e.g. a tool which shows each trainee's screen
on the trainer's screen; but even this will use some very mean
Windows trick, I suppose).
The only chance you may have is to study Windows programming first;
then you can use JNI to call some C or C++ library interacting with
Windows in order to examine key strokes. Despite that I don't see any
chance.
Maybe on some Windows programming group you'll get some hints
regarding to your request, but in Java directly there seems to be no
way to do it.
Regards,
Nico
