xnee 3.02 options that don't seem to work

[Bill Cripe]

Hello,

I've gotten some fairly interesting sessions to record and replay using
xnee version 3.02, which is the most recent version that I could find, but
several options don't seem to work at all, although they appear in the
xnee documentation. A couple of these don't appear in the cnee
documentation, so I suspect that perhaps they aren't in version 3.02.

    --seconds-to-record seems to never work. It shows up once in the
documentation as --time-to-record, but that gets an error if you try to
use it.
    Neither --pause-key nor --resume-key get a complaint when used, but
they seem to be ignored. I tried "--pause-key p" for rexample.
    The --stop-key option is clearly the best way to stop recording,
however, it seems to only accept the letters a-z and is not case
sensitive. It's very difficult to never need to use the stop key as part
of what you are recording. I got the impression from the documentation
that this ought to be able to be set to things like control+q, which would
solve the problem, but I'm not able to get these combinations to be
accepted.

Are these features simply not in version 3.02?

Thank you very much for your time and assistance.

Best Regards,
Bill Cripe

pause/resume/stop key works fine in my local CVS repo. Since we're
preparing a new release, you have to wait some time. Probably works in
CVS head. Nighlty dist tar.gz files can be found here:

Example: ./cnee/src/cnee --record --mouse -hp --pause-key p --stop-key s
--resume-key r

How about F1 or F2 ... ?

I think the code for this is still there but it was "commented way"
since we though it'll be hard to maintain (cowards!!!).

Problem is, when you record and press

   control

we don't know if we should print this or not. If you keep control
pressed and at the same time press "q" we should stop and not print
Control and "q". However if you released Control and the press q we
should print them. Add to that, that the mouse may move etc...

So an easy, yet unflexible, solution was proposed and approved. Pause,
Resume and Stop with one single key.

Will dive into the docs and make sure it's up to date.
