Hey . .

I have a pd patch that uses the keyup object to trigger a few sound options. I'm running it on a headless Raspberry Pi using the command "pd-extended - nogui /home/pi/seq.pd &" . The patch works fine except that the keyboard commands are no longer recognized by the keyup object in the patch. I found this to be true on OS X as well. I checked out the -h options but don't see anything obvious. Is there a way to have Pd recognize keyboard commands via the keyup object when launched from the command line? Thanks!

The key objects in Pd only recognize keyboard input when Pd is in focus. So I'm guessing since it's running without the gui, there isn't a window for it to be focused. You might be able to instead pick up the keyboard input using [hid], but it can be a bit hit-and-miss with what devices it works with.

This works indeed.
