Yes, if you could figure out how to detect those, that would be good! (Last I checked, DrRacket is sometimes silly because it does not distinguish Control keys when the caps lock is on, leading to funny interactions sometimes.) The code in mred/private/wx wraps a common interface around the particularities of the three major GUI platforms. So maybe it's just a matter of extending that interface and adding the appropriate code for them. I haven't taken time to look at it much yet. ____________________ Racket Users list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/users
