That still doesn't answer the fundamental question: Are you looking for KEYBOARD input or TEXT input? Until you figure that out, nothing matters. Personally, I'd much rather work with text than with actual keys; in the uncommon case where I want a keystroke to trigger an action, I'm always working in a GUI already, and I can create a menu item with an accelerator. A visible one. Just because you *can* poll the keyboard for events, don't think that you *should*. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
