Subject: Modifier state?
Date: Fri, 13 Feb 2009 15:18:47 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1B1D3F3E-49CC-4488-B3D8-5189B834412E@gmail.com> (raw)
Do we have a way to detect the modifier state from the Lisp level, or
bind commands to modifier state changes?
I'd like to run a command whenever the user presses and releases the
Meta (not ESC) key. This would be on non-TTY sessions.
A lot of applications show additional info when you press Alt/Option
(which is Meta for me); they even update the menus with alternative
functions. The user can even view a menu, press and hold Alt/Option
and see the menu items change.
Thanks
- David
