Oh, that is fine. I did not mean the features exactly.
If there is a way to do the same task in any manner,
that would be great.

By the way, I am trying to do a keyboard driver with
Gambas. Would it be possible? The idea is to trap the
keypress events in other applications (yes, other
applications). The gambas program will remain in the
system tray and watch the keyboard strokes. Text will
be sent to the active window according to the key
pressed. Something like the driver in Tavultesoft.com
MS Windows or SCIM/IMModules in Linux.

Just asking the possiblity, would it be possible to
watch the keystrokes and control the text through
Gambas?
