Yeah, I've thought that in addition to regular keystrokes operating systems should provide logical events. If I press
Ctrl+c
don't sendCtrl+c
to the application, sendCopy
(Maybe also with the original keystroke in case it needs to be interpreted "raw" like when using remote desktop software). We sort of have this for keyboard, there are special keys likeMute
andWeb Browser
, but I think we should extend this system for common actions that are basically universal.
