Even better question: I'd like to work on a text-based application and
I'd like to act on simply pressing eg. Ctrl (change some context menu).
I can do this with the hack I just posted nicely, but it will fail when
running under X11. Is there any possibility in getting a callback
registered called everytime an event occures which affects my terminal
emulation's window? There, I could fetch the modifiers...
