Yes, makes _perfectly_ sense as long as you're running X. The X event viewer is a very good example on how to find out the key codes. You simply need to get that "in between" in the input chain so the keys keep working (instead of "making them disappear" by reading them _from_ the input buffer). I'd imagine that this is possible. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
