It wouldn't be too complicated, if it wasn't for the fact that X sucks in that respect (I already looked at that...). You would need to find a "free" keycode, assign the keysym to it, generate the event, and unassign the keysym. Pretty gross all in all, but certainly possible (and the accessibility layer already does such horrors). --- Bastien Nocera <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Lucas has made a vacuous, boring, pretentious, retroactively destructive sequel.
