Little app to lock the keyboard input of a libOIS linked application (this include games like FreeOrion but also the OISConsole demo packed with the library). You can restore the keyboard input simply by terminate the app killing it or sending a ESC key. This program simulates the functionality of xscreensaver to eaversdrop theKeyPress events of…

A X11/Xlib program that reads the KeyPress and KeyRelease events from the window and prints them to the standard output. Used to debug the keyboard within X.
