Hi Bram,
Thanks for the response on this. It looks like then there's three separate
issues here:
1. Making sure that the input queue really can distinguish Ctrl-T from
Ctrl-Shift-T, and also between e.g. Tab and Ctrl-I
2. Getting GUI-based frontends to correctly insert input queue
keypresses
3. Using libtermkey or similar, to recognise keypresses on terminals
I'm actually away until Tuesday now, but when I get back I'll take a
further look into things, mostly in this order. Though, I forsee there's
probably scope for some parallelising between other developers, if
someone else manages to make some headway into one of the bits in the
meantime.
