Set what is sent on shift

[postelrich]

Looking how to get the mac backspace/delete combo where if you hold shift you get delete instead of backspace. I followed the code down to where the keys are defined by hex ids but dont see how I could make my own custom one. Looks like _kbfun_press_release does some bit shifting on a global var to register the modifier so maybe my only luck is to create a function that checks if shift is pressed when pressing backspace and replace with a delete?

If you're still interested, and you haven't already figured it out. Yup, that sounds like a good way. Alternately, you could change the shift key to set another flag somewhere, if checking the shift turns out to be hard (though, i think there might be a function for checking with a key is pressed or not). Alternately again, you could make shift also do a (mostly transparent) layer shift as well as setting the shift modifier bit. Just off the top of my head. I think your first idea is probably the simplest/best :-)
