  Hello developers

  I have put together a keyevents extension for DynAPI2 - as of release =
2000.11.07, which is the latest official to my knowledge. I've made it =
for a project called ComicCreation, which is the project I'm working on =
implementing the DynAPI2 into.

  The keyevents are meant to be the same type of alternative UI =
functionality to mouseevents as keyboard shortcuts is to mousemanouveres =
in regular applications (windowbased interfaces). They should be =
essential for the serious webapp developer, who takes care of the fact =
that sometimes users rather uses the keyboard or simply don't have a =
mouse but still need a way to reach the feature (without hazzle). If no =
other, most developers are more often to use the keyboard than the mouse =
- so probably for most in here.

  Now, I set the ALT key to be working as controller key, since using =
single keys are already assigned for text input. I chose to limit one =
key as the only valid modifier, since I'm aware that too many key-combos =
are already assigned to application functionality. I'm far from sure =
this is a wise choice though, since I've got a hunch that ALT-combos =
won't work in every enviroment either. If somebody have any experience =
or would care to try out what modifier key works crossbrowser on =
different systems I'd most apprieate to be notified so that I can set =
the correct controller key or combo for char keys to work as function =
keys.

  thanks all for your time and efforts with dynAPI
