Hi Bill,
the only other possibility that I am aware of is the isKeyDown(key)
function, which is restricted to the "shift", "alt" and "space" keys.
You can also use getCursorLoc(x, y, z, modifiers) and wait for a
mouse key (encoded in the modifiers)
leftButton=16;
rightButton=4;
if (modifiers&leftButton!=0) ...
For other keys, I think that one would have to write a plugin that
registers as a keyListener of the main ImageJ panel. Probably it
should also have a pop-up window to tell the user that he should
press a key.
