Thread: Capturing keyboard activity

Hello,

I was wondering if someone can point me in the right direction... I'm am running a GTK+ GUI and the system it is designed for has limited accessibility. What i am wanting to do is launch the GUI executable, then be able to press a key 1-4 on my keyboard to switch between GUI screens.

I have each screen as its own function and i wanted to know if there is any way for the program to say "hey, key 2 was pressed so clear current GUI and call GUI function 2 to draw."

The system it is designed for is Linux based

Any help pointing me into the right direction would help greatly!

Thanks

I found a way using Ncurses! But if this is not the best way let me know!

There are other ways, but they are not part of the C standard - your best bet if not answered here, would be to ask this in your distro's linux web forum. I always liked Curses, Ncurses, and conio.h for DOS and Windows, but others despise it -- so many haters around. xD
