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). -Peter "Never judge the strength of foundation by size of building." _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
