Thanks a lot,
thats an easy "workaround"
Idea: there is alittle app called Platypus. It should be possible to writte alittle scriptstarter and include the command-line starting script.
So doubleclickers should still be able to use KBHIT
I'll try this later..
I like writing e-mails with funny sounds too ;-)
especially the smiley makes a nice sound ;-)

keystrokes to KBHit, but this hasn't been implemented yet.
The main strength of this would be that in this case one could make sure that actions like typing a email or editing a softsynth while the the Mini is listening for events don't accidentally affect the Mini (I myself tend to find this amusing and to result in "happy accidents" but I could imagine it being unwanted).
So, if we know this and know the HID approach is more powerful another take on this matter might be something like this;
Machine.hasFocus(int) //returns 1 is the mini/Audicle/console window has the OS focus, 0 otherwise
This would allow programmers to use the more powerful implementation while having the option to use the KBHit style behaviour, even on a per-device basis. Sadly this feature would require a different implementation for our three platforms which could be a drawback but aside from that it seems win/win.
Luigi; I would have loved to help you but feel unqualified to talk about such details of OSX behaviour because iI don't have a OSX install. KBHit seems to me like a prime canidate for system dependant behaviour.
Yours,
Kas.
