I see now I made a mistake in my question. I know where it is in the manual and I know what it's for, I just don't know hów to... For catching the mouse-events the manual is clear enough (there's a clear example in the next paragraph), but there is no example for catching the keyboard events.
About the contribution: I still don't know how to use the catching of keyboard events, so I can't make a piece of code to send as contribution. But once I do know, I will! On Aug 25, 11:13 pm, "T.J.
