I have not found a way to reliably detect when shift or control is pressed. It's been a while, but IIRC the problem is that sometimes the keyup messages go missing. Additionally I remember some strangeness with the gtk notebook widget.

This has been requested a few times and long overdue. FYI it's http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=321290 In the meanwhile I've heard of people writing wrapper scripts along the lines of "cp ancestor tmp; meld theirs ancestor yours; if ancestor != tmp; cp tmp target" Stephen. _______________________________________________ meld-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/meld-list
