I was playing around with keyboard events. I can't seem to use a wildcard to catch all keyboard events, i.e, "keyboard.*" doesn't catch all keyboard events. Is this a bug?

Re: Keyboard.* Doesn't Work
Wildcard handling is disabled for keyboard events, as the keystrokes are blocked if a matching event is found. And it would be disastrous if EG would block all keystrokes.
Please post software-related questions in the forum - PMs will only be answered, if really private, thanks!

Re: Keyboard.* Doesn't Work
Why would it be disastrous? Shouldn't we let the user decide? Blocking all keystrokes is a great way to grab control over the system and to effectively install a custom keyboard handler, no?
