VK_LOCATION_x available in Processing?
Sep 19th, 2006, 5:24am  
Java's KeyEvent class supports the detection of keys on both the right and left sides of the keyboard (Alt, Shift, Ctrl) with getKeyLocation(), which returns (among other things) VK_LOCATION_LEFT and VK_LOCATION_RIGHT.  Does Processing preserve this information somehow, in the keyCode variable, perhaps?  What is a way to accomplish the detection of the "side" of certain keys in Processing?

override the keyPressed(KeyEvent e) (or whatever key method you wish to catch) the same way you would in any other java application. just know that unless you call super.keyPressed(e) or you will disable the p5 key methods and variables.
