Another interesting situation to ponder if one tries to attach character codes to key events is how to handle multi-key sequences. To type an e with an accent on the Mac, one does:
1. press option key
2. press e key
3. release e key
4. release option key
5. press e key again
6. release e key
Curiously, the VM I am using reports
- a key UP for the e key after step 4
- a key down for the e and the correct ascii character after step 5
- a key UP for the e key after step 6
So, I'm wondering what character codes one would desire to have assovciated with each of these events.
Cheers,
Bob
