Hello Franz,

When you start the example on a machine with two monitors,

I'll try if you send me some.  ;-)

Hehehe :-)

Yes, but I'm "unpressing" the key when the mouse leaves the first
window, so I don't think it can get stuck on X11. In my naivety
I'd expect that the X11 version doesn't have problems with multiple
windows. Now, multiple keyboards are a different matter. But I
might be missing something ...

Ah yes, the X11 code checks when focus leaves the window whereas mine checks when focus comes back to the window.

But how does that work with Alt-Tab for example? When the focus leaves the app, the alt key is still pressed (physically)...

I also considered whether it was right to release keys when focus leaves the app or when it comes back. If I'm driving a vehicle forward, pressing the up-arrow key, and some other app steals focus (as apps like to do on Windows... :-( ), do I want the vehicle to continue moving forward or to stop? I'm not sure there's one general answer... So I might just do it like you did (when focus leaves) if I can find out how to make it work.

Yes, but I'm only releasing the keys that are still considered in
pressed state, but reportedly aren't. I'm not force-releasing
every key. But you said that you can't do that on Win32, so
that's indeed a problem.

Well, yes I can and I do, but since my handler is called when focus comes back to the window, it doesn't necessarily come back to the same window if the app has multiple windows.

Anyways, I think the fix is still valid as it fixes it in all but a few special cases. I can continue trying to get something that works in all cases, but that could take some time.

I considered another possibility:

I found out that when focus comes back to the app, I don't need to send keyPress events for keys that are pressed in reality but which the app doesn't think are (presumably because of keyboard repeat or something like that). So what I could do is that when focus leaves the app, I could just release all keys. When focus comes back, the keys that are pressed in reality would send events and all would be well, no keys would be stuck.

What do you think? Thanks,

J-S
