I use GLUT to handle keyboard input for Bitfighter. I ve built a nice little keyboard event abstraction layer, which works great for most things, but I ve run up against a few frustrating limitations.
For example, when Ctrl is pressed, the number keys, plus, minus, and the quote key don t seem to trigger the glutKeyboardFunc() callback.
I realize that GLUT is very limited in some ways, but I was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to detect the number keys or plus/minus when Ctrl is pressed.
I would consider switching to FreeGLUT if it helped work around this limitation.
