I would like to write a simple C program that will perform different actions based on both "key down" and "key up" events. This program will be run from inside rxvt. What library or mechanism should I use to access both key presses and releases? Is it true that reading /dev/tty will only provide key releases? Is this also true for termc...
I want to simulate many key press events. I found a solution by using XTestFakeKeyEvent, but when I simulate more than 210 times my program raises a "Maximum number of clients reached" segmentation fault. I don't known how to solve this problem. My code here: #include <X11/Xlib.h> #include <X11/keysym.h> #include <X11/extensions/XTest....
I want a function to be run when a keypress occurs on a text box, so I have this code: $("input[x]").keypress(function() { DoX(); }) This is working fine, but in my function I want to do something based on the text value in the textbox var textValue = ("input[x]").val(); Now the problem here is that it lags behind by a ...

I want to detect whenever a textbox's content has changed. I can use the keyup method, but that will also detect keystrokes which do not generate letters, like the arrow keys.

I have an IFrame within my page and am using the designMode="on" on this iframe for a small-level rich text editing. My concern is that I need not allow the user to enter new lines in it - meaning, I want to restrict enter keys. I did it using the question posted here to listen to the keypress events. But in my keypress event, if I ret...
I have a standard <input> textbox where users enter a date. I'd like to add some functionality where users can enter + or - to add/subtract a day from the value. I added an onkeypress event that calls this function: function adjustDate( element ) { var e = event || window.event; var code = e.charCode || e.keyCode; switch( ...

I am looking to emulate hyperterminal functionality for my Serial Communication in C# by detecting the keypresses of certain key combinations (escape sequences) which cannot be typed out such as Ctrl+C, Ctrl+Z, etc. I understand that these keys have their ASCII equivalents and can be transmitted as such. But I am facing problems with the...

I am writing an application in JavaScript (w/ JQuery). The application has a lot of functionality that the user needs to access quickly and possibly at the same time (you could think of it as a game, even though it's not a game) so I've set it up to use the keyboard. I've got a prototype of the system working (in Chrome, at least), but...

I have a keypress handler on a web page assigned to the body element. I really do want it to be active anywhere in the web page. Or so I thought. The keypress events in textual input forms also activate the body handler, which makes sense, but which I don't want. Ideally, I'd like to keep the keypress handler assigned to the body ele...
