I’ve got a graphical program that receives input from dmenu
. When trying to collect an answer from the user, I create a pipe via popen
so that I can re-direct the command’s standard output to my program.
The forking and unfocusing formed by the pipe creating a separate dmenu window seems to confuse GLFW. So, if Ctrl-W triggers the original popen
call, neither the control nor the w keys will ever be registered as released when the pipe gets closed and dmenu terminates. GLFW behaves like they’re still being pressed and it only marks them as released if I press and release each individual key again. Is there any way in forcing a key to be released, without having to create a key manager and state abstraction on top of GLFW? Please don’t criticize my use of popen
, I know it’s weird! Basically, I’m looking for a way to manually mark keys as released, whenever I want.
Thank you! And thanks to all contributors creating such a wonderful and lightweight library
