[AD] Allegro keyboard under Linux

[ Thread Index | Date Index | More lists.liballeg.org/allegro-developers Archives ]


Hello.

As you all probably know, under Linux you can use Alt-arrow key to switch
VC. This sequence is catched by Allegro, since as George once pointed,
there's a lot of games which would relay on that key combination to move
the game car, ship, whatever.

However, is it possible to disable this feature? I have a few console
programs which use the keyboard, and it would be great if the alt-key
combination worked there too.

Maybe through some specific keyboard flag, or either automatic whenever
you install_allegro(SYSTEM_NONE,whatever,etc); ?

Oh, and it would be great to have that described in the documentation in a
Linux specific section, which is still missing.

Don't compare Linux with Windows. There's no colour (except blue).
