Re: [MACTCL] Issue with keysyms when generating key events

[Russell O. <ro...@uw...>]

Your script seems to work fine for me. What I observe:
- When I type some text every char is shown correcting in stdout
- When I press Playback those same chars that I typed are entered into the text and echoed to stdout
- I repeated this sequence several times

Did you get the latest 8.5.18; there were a few changes after the first announcement.
