The two triplets in question being <Tab> <Ctrl-I> <Ctrl-Shift-I> <Escape> C <Alt+C> é Yes I am aware that on current byte-driven terminals there is no way without using timing information to distinguish all these three cases in the latter triplet here. This should not stop GUI systems from distinguishing them however. Specifically as to the terminal case, I have a solution to this, but it requires the cooperation of terminals and applications to use libtermkey or some equivalent code, so right now I don't want to distract the argument. That is what derailed it last time when I tried this a couple of years ago - I don't want that to happen again for now. :) -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans [email protected] ICQ# 4135350 | Registered Linux# 179460 http://www.leonerd.org.uk/
