keycodes-gone

Physical keyboard codes are gone -- as I already said, the codes are not ASCII, but an attempt to provide cross-platform identity of the symbol on the key. We are evaluating whether we want to continue this strategy or return to platform-specific, keyboard-specific codes. We may do something to provide both.

Ok, I'll rewrite some 120 lines in coll files. ;-)))

However, the function keys yield different key codes, but the same ASCII 16. That was probably the reason why I used them. If the key codes are gone, function keys will go, too, and for my performance patch I need them.

Did I overlook something? Any workaround I can use?

Ah, forgot the final thought... actually the function keys are the only keys on my keyboard that yield a key code (a 5-digit one). I'm reacting to your statement that "key codes are gone", and encourage you to keep them in for the function keys.

Hello, I Like to emulate photographique-long-exposure (open-shutter; 

i make a mix of jit.slide and jit.op in float divide by the number of 

frames accumulate (512, 10124...), then i record one frame and ad it to 

Of course, it need several day for shoot few second...

The problem is: max hang before I save, or webCam stop to answer... I 

lost what I shooted, again and again...several day eatch time...

any hint? Lake of memory? driver of webCam? serial problem?

Hello, I Like to emulate  photographique-long-exposure (open-shutter; 
pose B) frame by frame
i make a mix of jit.slide and jit.op in float divide by the number of 
frames accumulate (512, 10124...), then i record one frame and ad it to 
the movie.
Of course, it need several day for shoot few second...
The problem is: max hang before I save, or webCam stop to answer... I 
lost what I shooted, again and again...several day eatch time...
any hint? Lake of memory? driver of webCam? serial problem?
It will work beter with max 5???
It was so easy with video-script...
I can send more info if you can help

I love the new standard, even if it breaks old code. For me key codes 

didn't work in OS X. They did though in OS 9....

Now I can use them again. That the model is an american ascii keyboard 

layout is convenient and intuitive. There is only a lack of explanation 

Please do not go back to platform and/or country specific codes, they 

are useless. If someone needs it country specific, I have a simplified 

unshift abhaXion, to translate big letters to small ones:
