WXK_COMMAND

[Christian K.]

Hi,

I am unable to check whether the command key is currently pressed using
wx.GetKeyState(wx.WXK_COMMAND) within an TREE_SEL_CHANGING handler.
The result is always False. What should I try instead?
This happens on Os X 10.8 running python 2.7 with wxpython 2.8.12.1

Hi,

You almost certainly need to catch EVT_CHAR to get that. If you're trying to create a shortcut key combo (i.e. CMD+K), then you'll want to look at creating an AcceleratorTable instead. See the following tutorials for more info:

Try using wx.GetMouseState instead. Although it is mostly about the
mouse position and button states it does include methods and properties
for the keyboard modifier keys as well. I don't remember about 2.8 for
sure but it does correctly report shift, ctrl, cmd, and alt for
wxOSX-cocoa 2.9.

Thanks! This works with both 2.8 and 2.9.
