in reply to Perl/TK KeyPress/Release minimized

Basically you want to hijack *all* keyboard presses not matter if your program is actually in focus or not.

That's 1. a security risk, and 2. probably not portable.

You should at least tell us which OS you're running this on.

    That is pretty much what I want to do. I have emulated a similar application that runs on windows and does exactly what I am trying to do. I am running this on Linux (Puppy 3.01 if it matters). I simply want to hijack the arrow keys while my application is minimized.
