Hello list,
I'm happy to say my audio game is now working. The game itself is not written 
yet, but the audio menu is doing well - I can navigate it with the arrow keys 
and the proper selector is called when I press enter. Thanks again for all your 
help thus far.

As I build the map and the rest of the game engine, I'll need to detect and 
match up keystrokes. I want the user to be able to define these if they want 
to, plus I know there has to be a better way to store them than hard-coded in a 
bunch of if or switch statements. So, my first thought was a dictionary, with 
the key assignment as the dictionary key and a selector as the value. However, 
modifiers are tripping me up. I can get the modifiers, and compare each 
modifier mask to see if that modifier was pressed, but what about two or more 
modifiers? I'd have to detect every combination of control, option, command, 
shift, and numpad. Also, storing the hotkeys as strings would mean constructing 
a string based on which modifiers were pressed, similar to the hotkey 
definitions in OS10's files for handling keys. Yes, I can do it, but it seems 
like there must be a more efficient way than or-ing every combination of those 
five masks with the modifier flags each keypress contains. I can't be the first 
to have this question, but google is oddly quiet on the topic and I just keep 
ending up at the Event Handling Guide or other sites that aren't what I'm 
looking for. As always, any suggestions are greatly appreciated.


Have a great day,
Alex (msg sent from Mac Mini)
