13.4.16 Detecting key presses and releases

CAPI now supports a portable way to detect key press and release gestures, by using :key in the input-model . This is different from using :character or :gesture-spec , because it captures the key and modifiers pressed or released, not the character that they would generate. It should only be used where you require low level access to the keyboard input. See the description of input-model in capi:output-pane for the details.
