Hi Przemek, I think that Clipper Ct Functions SetKXlat GetKXlat can be used. Also it will be nice if we have also except from the lastkey() another Hb_ExtLastKey() that can return the full key code.

It has to be runtime switch but IMO we should change cursor key values not K_CTLR_<letter> ones. It's a common standard that CTRL+<letter> should return ASC( <letter> ) - 64 on ASCII based machine. Lot of code depends on it. The other way is adding key modifiers to return values as bit field for CTRL, SHIFT, ALT, ALTGR flags though here I see one potential problem with defining portable list of basic key codes and interactions with national characters. So we probably should add also bits to mark type of keycode, f.e. ASCII character, UNICODE character, MOUSE event, SCANCODE. The mouse event should contain also the status of mouse buttons and mouse row/col position. It may be hard to keep all this information in single 32bit word though it's possible if we reduce maximal size of GT window for mouse position to 256 x 256. The low level GT driver should send to core GT such row untranslated event values. INKEY() will make translation online unless user will not set some INKEY_RAW or INKEY_EXT flag. That's all. best regards, Przemek _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list Harbour@harbour-project.org http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list Harbour@harbour-project.org http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
