Turns out I /did/ overlook something!  Ah, the joys of early brain damage ;)

There are a couple X extensions intended for macro recording/playback and
regression testing purposes (mainly): XTrap, XTEST, RECORD.

XFree86 4.2.0 contains the docs for XTEST and RECORD but not for XTrap.

However, I couldn't find any demos or test code for XTEST and RECORD in it
but I did find xc/programs/xtrap/*, which contains many useful little
programs to use or to steal code from.  They do seem to be able to snoop
keyboard press/release events (among a ton of other things).

The docs for XTrap can be found here, at The X Consortium's website:

[Xpert]how to get global key release events ?

2002-07-26 Thread Alexander Neundorf 

Hi,

I need to get global key release events in my app, i.e. also if none of the 
windows of my app has focus.
My app is based on Qt/KDE and I am able to get the key press events, but not 
the release events.
I read some things about input masks, grabbing keys, window attributes and so 
on, but I don't  really understand what I have to do.
Can somebody please shed some light on me about key grabbing, input masks, 
 and stuff ?

My app runs in a modified version of wm2 (even more stripped down), so I 
would also be able to modify the window manager if this is required.

Thanks
Alex
