In Reply to: Esc and other key woes.... (a possible solution for you guys) posted by Howard Casto on 22, 2001 at 4:09 PM:
Why would some keys "slip out"? Are you using a timer to poll the keyboard? Which API function are you using? I am interested in something like this but haven't gotten around to taking a crack at writing it, being busy with my own front-end project. So if you have something working :)

: However..... the nifty little api that i have put in the RD simulates keypresses regardless of what has focus and with a little work i could mod it to be used as a button remapper....
: there would be some limitations however...
: 1. VB can't tell the diff between lshift and rshift, ect...
: 2. If I got it to work, a shift function would be very buggy if I could implient it at all.
: 3. Even though I could trap most of the "original" keypresses, a few would be bound to leak out... (not a big deal unless you reassign your action button to esc or something silly like that)
: 4. Another stand alone prog to deal with, and thus another thing to add to you bat file or startup folder.
: :(
: would there be any interest in this type of prog?
: if i get enough responses i'll add it to my ever-increasing pile of "emulation stuff to do"
