Detecting the "Windows" and "Contex
Sep 9th, 2006, 9:34pm  
Has anyone figured out a way to disable or catch the "Windows" or the "Context" key in Processing?

If not, this may be a limitation of Java 1.4, which actually has no keycode for these keys.  However, Java 1.5 introduces two new keycodes for these two keypresses.

check out #4620715 - "New KeyEvent codes for two standard Microsoft Windows keys" at this link for more info.

on macintosh ther is no problem in distinguish between all these specialKeys.. tried out with that one


import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.event.KeyListener;

void setup() {
 addKeyListener(new MyKeyListener());
}

class MyKeyListener implements KeyListener {


 MyKeyListener() {
 }

 void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {
   println("SHIFT down "+e.isShiftDown());
   println("CONTROL down "+e.isControlDown());
   println("META down "+e.isMetaDown());
   println("ALT down "+e.isAltDown());
 }

 void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
 }

 void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) {
   println("KEY down "+e.getKeyCode());
 }

}
