Dear GUI list,

Is it possible in R to check whether a certain key is pressed or not.

For example

if(isKeyPressed("a")) {
  cat("a is pressed\n")
}else {
  cat("a is not pressed\n")
}

I would like to use this function within tk events. For example when a '<Button-1>' event calls foo(), I would like to know within foo() whether the Shift key is pressed or not.

I know that I could generate events when a key is pressed or released (with focus on a tk toplevel window). However I would prefer a function like isKeyPressed().

Sincerely,

Adrian Waddell
