Hi,

how can one generate function keys? (F1 to F12)

I've made a morph for testing

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ c := Morph subclass: #MyKeyMorph.

c compile: 'handlesKeyboard: evt ^ true'.

c compile: 'handleKeystroke: evt self logCr: evt'.

c compile: 'handleKeyUp: evt self logCr: evt'.

c compile: 'handleKeyDown: evt self logCr: evt'.

m := c new. m openInWindow. m takeKeyboardFocus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

However the functions keys are not being generated.

Is this something that would have to be done in the VM?

Yes, function do not generate any events on the pharo linux vm (for Windows, at least keydown/keyup events, bot no keystroke events).

I'm using linux btw, but ideally it should work on all platforms.

Thanks, Peter
