ok,i know its been a few days, but i just read your
post more thoroughly, and i saw what you said at the end about another way to check for a keypress event.
well i was fumbling around blindly while a video was going, trying to close the video(i had forgotten about ctr c) and i somehow typed in hd, which displays keypresses like command prompt in windows displays ctrl commands... with alot of arrows and a letter corresponding to the keypress.
i was wondering... could there be someway to use that to close videos?
btw sorry for grammatical/spelling errors, im typing this on my kindle... XD
