Hi,

I had glfwGetKey working fine on my application. But at some point, it just  
stopped working; I’m using MacOsx10.6, g++.  
For instance if I run the glfw example on wikipedia ([[http://gpwiki.org/index](http://gpwiki.org/index)  
.php/GLFW:Tutorials:Basics),]([http://gpwiki.org/index.php/GLFW:Tutorials:Basi](http://gpwiki.org/index.php/GLFW:Tutorials:Basi)  
cs%29%2C) everything works except the glfwGetKey.

For example, if I run the application from the command line, and I start  
pressing keys once the OpenGL window is open, I will see the keys pressed  
going on the command line (there are not processed by the OpenGL  
application).

I realize this issue might not have something to do with glfw, but I have no  
idea what could be the cause.

Thanks for your help.

See if the events test from the GLFW source distribution works for you.
