Re: Fixing Bug 46200 [Easy Hack]

Hi all,

Using the reply I found out that the events coming from the keyboard
has this behavior.

Using the argument KeyEvent coming to function in file tabvwsh4.cxx
    bool ScTabViewShell::TabKeyInput(const KeyEvent& rKEvt)


I can get codes of all keys except of Caps-Lock, NumLock and
Scroll(Which is the needed input).
I noticed that when any of the above keys are pressed this function is
called twice. But in both events the keycodes are not accessible.
When CapsLock is on pressing key 'A' in keyboard will give the same
keycode as when it is not on. So there must be a place where it is
handled to differentiate a and A inputs. It would be appreciated if I
can get a code pointer for this.
