There seems to be some function which translates the keyboard activity into keyboard events. At the same time it determines the character codes. In this routine, the option key is used to generate all the alternate characters, dingbats, and accents. This function must also take into account the american and international keyboards as well as several other things. Where is all of this documented? Does this function have any hooks into it at all and if so where do I read about them. In my case, I want to use the option key as a different command key so that I can have keyboard macros. Currently I am forced to use the key codes and not the character codes. While this is not too bad, it is a bit confusing especially for use by the average John on the streat. (Not to mention the above-average frog. :-) I consider rewritting the keyboard device driver too extreme to justify the benifits unless someone has one already written. Please send mail; I will sumarize if etc etc etc.... Perry Smith pedz@megamax convex!ctvax!megamax!pedz
