Thanks for the feedback. I'll definitely improve the handling of
duplicate entries and shifted keys in the next release. Previously I
didn't handle duplicates at all so my current sloppy hack is just there
to prevent them. As for the s-t vs T...this is a platform dependent
issue which I am very interested in straightening out (some platforms
don't list shift as a qualifier they just give the capital keycode,
others include the shift qualifier and give a lowercase keycode). What
platform are you using?...just so I can add one more datapoint to my
list. Also, what does your platform report when you do something like
meta-shift-2? What about meta-shift-Insert (if your keyboard has such a
key). Your feedback is much appreciated. Anyone else that wants to
post some datapoints for me (platform and response to various shift,
ctrl and meta-key combinations), that would be helpful as well.
