HTML text input event

I have a form, and want to disable/enable its submit button depending on whether the form's input text fields are empty or have had text entered into them.

I've created a python script in which an event needs to be executed each time I press the Super (or WinKey) on my keyboard.

I need a function that, given a character, returns the CGKeyCode associated with the position of that character on the current keyboard layout. E.g., given "b", it should return kVK_ANSI_B if using U.S. QWERTY, or 45 if using Dvorak. The Win32 API has the function VkKeyScan() for this purpose; X11 has the function XStringToKeySym(). Is t...

I'm trying to accomplish something similar to the fellow here, but going with the answer there leaves me with a bit of a bug that's not a huge deal, but ugly from a user POV: When it puts the keypress data into the textbox, if the user presses the modifier keys before the character (like one does), the textbox is being populated includ...
