key press detection: which key?

Scripting Issues
#1

i would like to detect every alphanumeric character. this code sets an event handler (onLetterPress) for each alpha character.


for n in range(0, 26):
  c = '%c' % (ord('a') + n)
  self.accept(c + '-up', self.onLetterPress)

but inside onLetterPress, how can i detect which key was pressed? something like ‘get last event’ which might hold the keyboard character?

#2

there is one easy way to do.

First modify onLetterPress to accept one additionnal args like this:

onLetterPress(self,theKey):

then change your code to
self.accept(c + ‘-up’, self.onLetterPress,[c])

this way when Panda receive event c-up it will call onLetterPress with theKey=‘c’
