Re: [Dynapi-Dev] ccreation extension on Mac

[Henrik V. <hv...@ya...>]

Thanx for the report Liam. I'm glad that it at least seems to be mostly =
working as intended on Mac and nearly as good as on the PC in the both =
major browsers. (if I didn't get you totally wrong that is ;)

I dunno why I wasn't able to restrict what keys are releasing the alert =
keycode message (it was meant ot only be triggered on char keys =
keycodes)

Now ALT isn't made to be recognized a modifier key because of its =
lacking support in NS4.x (although a lot of articles suggests it to be =
the most cross-platform/-browser key).

Return/Enter maybe should've been a key property, but it seems too =
hard/impossible to get it working as intended for all systems.

Dunno if it's really to be considered a bug that modifier key + char key =
returns values and actions like it does. I think with a better example =
(and whose to blame but me :) where a event was actually assigned this =
wouldn't be a problem, though I have a feeling the best thing is to not =
use the modifier keys in combos, but rather as toggling between =
different control modes.

Thanks a lot for the test anyways :) =20

Next thing up to solve is NS6-compability - a hard bullet to avoid, =
considering the vast and insuficient documentation on the issue (and how =
far is dynapi supporting it in this state of development?).
