I'm trying to write a gui for my game. The game uses SDL, but the gui part, for selecting a level, adjusting sound volume, and configuring keys, is just a normal window using openwindow() and gadgets.

What i need is a way to get what key is pressed after the user clicks on a button, for the key config section. Any ideas?

PS, I'm doing it this way, cause it's quicker than designing one inside the game screen.

Maybe a GTK treeview with a GtkCellRendererAccel could be used?

meh. Sounds like it will just be easier to display a small SDL window displaying a "Press Button" message in it. And wait for an sdl keyboard event.

It should not be a problem, setting the focus to a stringgadget() and catching the input.

That won't work for special keys like Shift, Alt, Arrow keys, etc...
