[chuck-users] KBHit on a macbook the 2nd !

[Spencer Salazar]

Luigi,
Typically KBHit takes keyboard input from the "console" from which  
chuck, Audicle, or miniAudicle was started.  Since normally on OS X,  
miniAudicle is not started from the Terminal but from clicking on it  
in the Finder/etc., so there is no console, and thus no way for KBHit  
to get input.  Ideally, the console monitor in miniAudicle could send  
keystrokes to KBHit, but this hasn't been implemented yet.

One alternative would be to the Hid API, which can recognize  
keystrokes no matter where they are typed, and is more versatile in  
general.  If you wanted to stay with KBHit, you could start  
miniAudicle from the command line and use the Terminal window to  
enter keystrokes (to do this, open up Terminal.app and type /path/to/ 
miniAudicle.app/Contents/MacOS/miniAudicle, then hit enter (where "/ 
path/to" is typically "/Applications")).  Or you could use regular  
command line chuck.
