Hello Mindtraveller

I am almost agree with you but I would like to clarify a little bit:

- In windows

Installing a keyboard hook is a good solution as there is no possibility to lose a key. The reason is because the OS will call your function every time an user press a key

- In Posix

xbindkeys seems to be the solution. But it does not do miracles. The core of the program is in an infinite loop beginning with:

  	while (True) {
   		while(!XPending(d)) {
   			...
	  		usleep(SLEEP_TIME*1000);
		}
...

where SLEEP_TIME is 100, so it checks every tenth of second if something has happened.

Install a keyboard listener is never cheap, but it is useful so at least they have to do things reliabily and fast.

Best regards
Koldo
