Re: Simple "showkey" in Perl

Do the codes depend on the keyboard or OS type? This snippet doesn't catch numlock/caps key for me. Does block ctrl+z. Thanks for throwing the alarm in :)

Unfortunately I don't have a full understanding of how the code works, just that it works for me :-) I'm guessing it depends on the operating system because the codes I used come from constants in the Linux kernel includes that don't change based on what kind of keyboard you have. The mode I set it to is MEDIUMRAW, you might try just plain RAW which is `0x00`, or perhaps a different `ReadMode`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

The management of the keyboard it's competence of the kernel. So, it's difficult (impossible, imho) to make a script OS independent. ---------- kral (sorry for my english)	[reply]
