[OT] Pigs Fly

[Lynch, Jonathan]

Hmmm....

It seems that trying to trap either rawkeyup or rawkeydown still does
not prevent the start menu from being displayed when one releases the
key with the little windows symbol on it.

If there is no way to block it, then PC users with a single mousebutton
would find it very annoying to do the pc equivalent of ctrl-clicking.

Then again, maybe that would serve as an incentive for them to go and
buy a better mouse.

Ah, good point - and by playing around I see that the little key with
the windows symbol allows for the same thing on a PC.

Only, when that key is released it brings up the start menu - so I
should see if I can block that.

It's worth remembering that since system 8, Mac single-button mouse 
users can control-click to get the equivalent of a right mouse-button 
click. Revolution handles this fine, treating both actions as a mouse 
button 3 event. If you use a 2 button mouse on a mac you can 
right-click. With a one button mouse you just control-click to get the 
same result. So there is usually no real need to duplicate the 
functionality.
Still it can be a pain when writing the documentation.
