hi all,

this is great, thanks for the help.

one issue is that the old carbon kEventTextInputUnicodeForKeyEvent delivered
typed characters that should be inserted into (say) of text field

the new [event characters] method delivers ALL keys -- so for example, an
arrow key gets a unicode equivalent & now that is also getting typed

does anyone know how to filter between characters that should be typed &
other stuff?


thanks,

bill
