Hesa,

That's what I was missing. It makes sense now. Thank you very much for the response!
Great app!

Cheers,
John

--print-data-names is used to get the number and names of all core X11
protocol data. Type:
   ./cnee --print-data-name
and you'll see them.

To record the data you want you should type:
   ./xnee -rec --device-event-range KeyPress-MotionNotify \
               --delivered-event-range CreateNotify
Note that KeyPress-MotionNotify are device events (originating from
input devices such as mouse and keyboard) and CreateNotify is a
delivered event (delivered from the server.....).

This has been confusing for people so in the current release (at least
in CVS) you can type:
    ./cnee -rec --event-range KeyPress-MotionNotify,CreateNotify
Note, that you now don't have to know what device/delivered event is.
Event is enough!

The name cnee reflects the new structure of the Xnee project. In your
release the name of the binary is still xnee, so do use that.
