Display stuck modifier keys #293

Open drj11 opened 4 months ago

drj11 commented 4 months ago

When using Infinite Mac i often find that unbeknownst to me, one of the modifier keys (Command, Shift, Alt, who can say? but i'm pretty sure it's been each of Command and Shift at different times) is stuck down in the emulator, even though it's not stuck down on my actual keyboard here in the real world.

On https://infinitemac.org/1993/System%207.1.1?machine=Mac+IIfx fwiw.

I expect that this is some hairiness to do with events and emulating a mac ADB keyboard and somesuch. I don't expect you can make much progress there. When i notice i usually press all of my modifiers up and down and that usually clears it.

But, would it be possible to display, on the bezel next to the power light, a light for each modifier? So that i get some warning, instead of what usually happens which is "well, that clicked/typed weird".
