ooh there's some nice code for Linux in there! The Windows
is only half implemented though... but this combined with my
Windows code should get you enough example to write a
cross-platform thing if you need it.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate this! But I have a
few questions.
1) Which compiler should I use? I'm attempting to use the DM
D comiler, but afaik it doesn't have a GUI and I can't make
any sense of how to use it otherwise. I'll look up a
tutorial on it if this is the one you recommend. If it's not
the one you recommend, I'll give yours a try.
2) I can't figure out what the heck half of this code means.
It seems that at the bottom you have what each of the hotkey
buttons are, and I can see a few times where you referenced
them. I can also see a efw listeners for the keybinds to be
pressed, and then where you use the writeln command. Other
than that, I can't tell what's going on. I feel like a noob,
sorry that I don't understand this.
3) I'm sure that everything you have in there has a meaning,
but it looks over complicated to me. Shouldn't it look
something like this?
[code]
void main() {
import std.stdio;
import simpledisplay;
import *Others that need to be imported*;
if (*hotkey command here*) {
then writeln ("We're losing Alpha!")
return 0;
}
[/code]
I know there's a /LOT/ more to it than that, but wouldn't
that be the basics? I honestly don't know a whole lot about
what you did, but at least I understand the basic concept of
programming.
I'm going to start looking up a few tutorials on compiling
using the DM D compiler, let me know if you recommend a
different one.
Could you tell me which keys you used for the hotkey in your
sample code? I can't figure it out, but my guess it alt + c?
Not sure though.
Thanks again, I am really impressed with you for actually
writing the basic concept of it for me! I can diffidently
use this for my building block of learning how to program
better!
Ok so I've found out how to compile using the DM D compiler
via terminal... I can't cd to my directory for whatever
reason... so I'm running this:
[code]
dmd D:\Documents\Other\Hotkeys\D\Keybinds.d
[/code]
But it's spitting out errors left and right. Here's what I
get:
[code]
C:\Users\Casey>dmd D:\Documents\Other\Hotkeys\D\Keybinds.d
D:\Documents\Other\Hotkeys\D\Keybinds.d(11): Error: undefined

It's basically telling me I need the two files you mentioned
that are on your Github. So I then went and got your two
files, copied their stuff into their own folders, and tried to
compile them. Here's what I got:
[code]
C:\Users\Casey>dmd D:\Documents\Other\Hotkeys\D\simpledisplay.d

I'm not sure what this all means, but I'm sure I'm doing
something wrong. It doesn't spit out any files, and from what
I've seen it's supposed to spit out 3 new ones.
