Hi all.<br><br>I'm writing my own EventSensor class (as part of Subcanvas: <a href="http://gulik.pbwiki.com/Canvas" target="_blank">http://gulik.pbwiki.com/Canvas</a>) and I'm looking at what the VM is doing.<br><br>
When I press and release key under a recent Linux VM, I get three events:<br>
<br>#(2 512613 53 1 8 0 0 0)<br>#(2 512613 53 0 8 0 0 0)<br>#(2 512664 53 2 8 0 0 0)<br clear="all"><br>The fields are (for those that don't already know this):<br><br>1: type (2=keyboard), <br>2: timestamp, <br>3: character in Mac Roman encoding, <br>
4: key press/release (0=character, 1=press, 2=release)<br>5: modifiers (1=shift, 2=ctrl, 4=mac option, 8=cmd/alt)<br><font color="#888888"><br>
</font></blockquote></div><br>On a random Windows VM I just found, I get even more interesting results:<br><br>#(2 14856453 72 1 0 72 0 0)<br>#(2 14856453 104 0 0 104 0 0)<br>#(2 14856500 72 2 0 72 0 0)<br><br>The character changes. I typed in a lower case 'h', but the VM returns an upper-case 'H' (72) as the press and release field character, and a lower case 'h' (104) in the character field.<br>
<br>Why?<br><br>And why is the character repeated in the 6th field?<br clear="all"><br>Also, under the Windows VM, modifier key pressed and releases /are/ sent to the VM.<br><br>Gulik.<br><br>-- <br><a href="http://gulik.pbwiki.com/">http://gulik.pbwiki.com/</a><br>
