Perhaps, but perhaps not. Let's say you come up with a really cool set of bindings, and only some use KEY_HELP. Now you share your bindings with someone else whose keyboard doesn't have KEY_HELP. Should that be possible with those particular bindings being ignored, or should your entire set of bindings cause the other user's keyboard to be passed over? Mightn't a little bit of fault tolerance in the capability be useful? >> Does anyone know what happens if the same event device is opened more than >> once, which could happen, for example, if more than one brltty is started? > >I *think* if the application does not "grab" the keyboard, >other apps can still open the device.

I've already tested this at this point. The device can be opened any number of times, but only one can grab. A subsequent grab yields EBUSY. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | I believe that the Bible is the Phone: 1-613-726-0014 | Ottawa, Ontario | Word of God.
