One of the things that caused the error you mentioned is the not so uniform transplatform behaviour of commands like rawkeydown in this case.
A little test showed a big difference between mac and win32 platform.
The modifier keys, the shift and capslock keys are not triggering a rawkeydown message on the mac-side. But they do on the win32 platform.
If the people at RR could make this behavior more uniform between platforms it would enhance crossplatformity


This and related functions use keysyms. I get the impression that standards (if any) are weak, but what there is Revolution should follow and clarify & make uniform what is not. If the keysym traditions and standards are too weak, then Revolution should create its own and follow that across platforms, even when some odd corner is hard to implement on some platforms.

Can't do it on a Mac. The OS doesn't send any messages for the shift key and command key unless they are paired with an alpha-numeric keypress. Windows OS does. Rev has no way of knowing when the user depresses the shift key alone.
