Johann 'Myrkraverk' Oskarsson writes: There are all kinds of ways to hook into the event loop. pre-command-hook, post-command-hook, handle-pre-motion-command, and handle-post-motion-command. And pre-idle-hook. You can process the some of the extent loop yourself with next-extent and dispatch-extent, and the next-command-event and dispatch-non-command-extents. Without knowing what you're trying to do (what events you need to handle and how quickly, under what circumstances), all I can do is point you at them. I wouldn't recommend messing with adding stuff to the C code until you've tried all the hooks at the Lisp level, except it's safe to subdivide the event types to provide more information to the Lisp level, as long as you're careful to preserve the semantics of platform specific events you're *not* interested in. However, the event loop is timing- and logic-sensitive. The consequences changing it are hard to predict, and problems often manifest only under infrequent circumstances; there are few good tests for them. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
