I'd like to accept mouse gestures and keyboard shortcuts as input to a
program. The nature of this program requires that these commands be
issued regardless of the currently active window. Here's the rub: I
need a platform-independent solution.
Java supports with its MouseInfo class, but I'd like a Python
equivalent without turning to Jython. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance.

There is no cross-platform way to do that. You have to use whatever
interface the OS provides for that (e.g., Xlib events for X11). You
could probably write a platform independent way by testing the OS and
using the appropriate apis for that OS (assuming that there are python
modules like python-xlib for other OS). I wonder why you'd want to
though, if Java already provides a solution? If you don't want to muck
with Java syntax, what about Jython?

Ps. I saw you said you didn't want Jython, but I can't see why.
Thanks to all, you were very helpful. I suppose I'll use Jython after
all.

Is it possible, in PHP, to capture the resulting HTML of a submitted

I am trying to incorporate the resulting HTML into a layout I have

the resulting page is a plain "cheesy" page.

Hello,
I have been playing with various Googled solutions for capturing the <Enter>
key to suppress form submission.
My first question is whether anyone has a script that works in all common
browsers? The script bellow is IE only. It fails FF 1.0 and NN 7.
Also, if I can trap the keypress I would like to use it to tab to the next
tabindex.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
