I would like to know how you made ACM respond to keybaord shortcuts (accelerator keys). Did you use a standard java calss somthing like acceleratorkey in pure java or did you use a native C++/C to hook into the keyboard. I am trying to get my java app to respond to a key sequence like control + alt + f1 for example and am finding this hard or maybe inpossible within pure java.

We used C++ hook to get keyboard shortcuts going. Standard Java will not allow low level global hooks into the system. Native code will be required. Within the week we will be releasing the source code for ACM. So you can have a look at the code when we do so. Thanks for using ACM.

Can the syshook.dll library be used on Linux and Mac OS X? If not, please can you add these native libraries to the source distribution?
