Re: [Info-xnee] xnee 3.02 options that don't seem to work

[Henrik Sandklef]

pause/resume/stop key works fine in my local CVS repo. Since we're 
preparing a new release, you have to wait some time. Probably works in 
CVS head. Nighlty dist tar.gz files can be found here:

Example: ./cnee/src/cnee --record --mouse -hp --pause-key p --stop-key s 
--resume-key r

Seems broken ... ill be back

How about F1 or F2 ... ?

I think the code for this is still there but it was "commented way" 
since we though it'll be hard to maintain (cowards!!!).

Problem is, when you record and press

  control

we don't know if we should print this or not. If you keep control 
pressed and at the same time press "q" we should stop and not print 
Control and "q". However if you released Control and the press q we 
should print them. Add to that, that the mouse may move etc...

So an easy, yet unflexible, solution was proposed and approved. Pause, 
Resume and Stop with one single key.

Will dive into the docs and make sure it's up to date.
