In a perfect world . . . .
There would be a cross-platform solution that did not depend of external
code snippets or components
of operating systems.
A little bird just sang "poll a key" in my ear, but I dismissed it as it
made me think of the executioner
on Tower Hill having to finally hack off the Duke of Monmouth's head
with his pocket knife as his
axe had gone blunt.

While digging around for answers I came across something interesting..
From windows vista and onward there is a program quser.exe located in
\windows\system32 that returns the current user state. From the command
line it shows
mike console 1 Active none 12/16/2016
5:56 PM
I was going to test and see if it would show idle after a period of
inactivity (using a looping lc shell call) but heres the interesting
thing.. Lc can't see it. At all. Trying a shell call returns " is not
recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch
file.
I can change to the directory in shell and "dir" and there it is. I can
run it from shell.
If I do a shell call shell("dir quser.exe") on that directory it says
"Directory of c:\windows\system" file not found.
If I get the files, it isn't there.
So my question is this.. What the heck is going on? Its not a hidden or
system file, as far as I can tell its just a file sitting there like
normal. Why can't lc see it? (why can't the LC shell see it for that
matter)

A rawKeyDown message IS recieved even IF the mouse is NOT in the LiveCode
window, BUT
the LiveCode window MUST be the front window.
A rawKeyDown message won't be recieved IF the mouse is NOT in the
LiveCode windows if
it comes from a mouse button, scrollwheel or track ball.
The micro trackball on the top of my Macintosh mouse sends these
rawKeydowns:
Left: 65310 . . . . . . Left Arrow Key: 65361
Right: 65311 . . . . . . Right Arrow Key: 65363
