Re: [AD] Is al_set_mouse_range any useful?

["Chris La Mantia" <celamantia@xxxxxxxxxx>]

There should be a built-in sequence of some sort to allow escape from 
al_capture_mouse, like the built in CTRL-ALT-END to kill Allegro, otherwise 
we're dependent on the developer providing one.  Perhaps if the mouse hits 
the window edge while Scroll Lock is held down? Of course we'd allow the 
developer to disable or override this function, but at least there will be a 
default escape mechanism.
