[Visualpython-users] ESC to exit a program

[Bruce S. <Bru...@nc...>]

On vpython.org for Python 2.3/2.4 on Windows, version 3.2.2 restores a 
feature that's been missing for many months: Pressing ESC exits a 
running VPython program. This is particularly important if you use 
full-screen mode (scene.fullscreen = 1).

This feature has never worked on Linux/Unix/Mac using the X11 windowing 
system. Jonathan Brandmeyer points out that the code is in place for it, 
but somehow in full-screen mode we lose window focus, and NO keyboard 
input is accepted, including ESC. Perhaps an X11 expert could advise us 
on what we're doing wrong?
