Robin YaBB Newbies Offline Posts: 4 London	Disable quit on 'esc' key. Nov 4th, 2007, 8:56pm   Hello, I'm using processing inside netbeans, but I guess this questions applies to all processing programs. Is there any way to disable quitting the program when the esc key is pressed? I tried looking in the previous posts, but didn't come up with an answer? kind regards, Robin.
