See the VPython documentation, both at the web site and accompanying the
application.
Unfortunately at present mouse interactions are not nearly complete. All
you can get is current mouse position, and clicks for the left button. This
obviously should be generalized to include the right button, and being able
to interrogate the current state (up/down) for both buttons.
Also, it seems desirable to change the default navigation options so as not
to use left down for zoom but something else (say CTRL left down). I
observe that most people are disconcerted to have to drag with the mouse
button up -- no other applications work that way. (To everyone: do you have
a better suggestion than CTRL left down for zoom?)
I'm not sure about keypresses.....
One thing I've done in some of my programs is make a button to click on,
using a sphere or box with a label.
