Reasons: - actually, there is no key "a" etc that is pressed, but "1" etc. - you loose ability to keep the display up to date according to the pressed key sequence while composing characters, otherwise. - it is easy for the application to check the timing of the keys pressed and produce the desired characters instead [poll (2)]. - not all projects using the keyboard in question will need the sequence-to-character conversion You describe. e.g. cash register. gruesse(oskar) -- oskar schirmer, emlix gmbh, http://www.emlix.com, mailto:os@emlix.com fon +49 551 37000-37, fax -38, friedländer weg 7, 37085 göttingen, germany emlix - your embedded linux partner - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | |||||||||
