a hotkey

You're going to have to explain what you want to do a lot better than that.

You can use the keycapture module to detect when certain keys are pressed and perform actions accordingly. Here is an example:http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...14&postcount=2 But this doesn't mean it will register a system hotkey. That's not possible in Python.

Hi Jay_st

see below code :

CANVAS.bind(key_codes.EStdKeyEnd, lambda: None)
CANVAS.bind(key_codes.EKeyMenu, lambda: None)

through this code you can achieve your own functionality.


Hope this may be help.

This won't work if he doesn't use a Canvas, will it?
Using keycapture might be a better solution because it doesn't depend on the type of application (Canvas, Text etc.)
