Hi Hendrik.
Re: "AFAIK, there is no way to get the current keyboard state for the
regular alphanumeric keys, like you can for modifier keys and mouse
buttons."
I don't know much about general keyboard processing in Squeak, but here's an
example of how you can teach a morph to sense and respond to a key pressed.
Steps:
1. File in the attached change set.
2. Create a new KeyboardMorphTest (in Morphic, World Menu>>new
morph...>>from alphabetical list>>k>>KeyboardMorphTest)
3. Put your mouse cursor over the new morph and press any key (only keys
with visible characters will be interesting)
4. A balloon will pop up telling you what key you pressed.
Cheers!
