For what I want to do I need to have exclusive access to the keyboard events so that I can rewrite them. I have been experimenting a bit
This really wants to be done in (or with the active help of) the X server. You might want to look at how various accessibility-related programs work.
* active grab on A reverts to passive (incl some FocusEvents & KeymapNotify to inform us that B is still held)
When A is pressed, grab the keyboard and manage key events yourself (which is what you want to do anyway, isn't it?) until all the keys you want to work with are released, at which point you drop the grab. You should probably look for x.org-related mailing lists. - -- brandon s. allbery [linux,solaris,freebsd,perl] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.10 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkyePGYACgkQIn7hlCsL25UyEACfSgFIUtW4fXREGf692AY42yoT GdgAoMzqKpGIMOnVUDPnedqfKGrVSrbg =5Kpw -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
