Key Release Events

[Vjekoslav Brajkovic <vjeko brajkovic org>]

Hi!

I am writing an extension and would like to get notified when a 
key-*release*-event has occurred regardless of which actor has key focus 
and without changing it.

From what I understand, the indented way of doing this would be by 
registering a callback with Main.wm.addKeybinding() and specifying a 
desired KeyHandlerFunc. The problem is that key release/press 
information seems to be missing when the handler gets invoked -- the  
ClutterKeyEvent parameter is missing and instead of it I get 
Meta.KeyBinding.

I have also tried doing global.stage.connect('key-release-event', ...), 
but the stage does not receive any signals unless I change the key focus 
to an actor like overview, which I assume propagates its signals.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks!
