I need both the ascii translation and the "meta-keys" for a program i write.
i looked at key.h, but it seems like getkey and getxkey only translate
key-presses where meta-keys are involved. i need to find out whether a
keypress is meta or ascii and then get the correct interpretation of the key
in either ascii or something like arrow_up or CTRL_X etc.
(I'm too stupid to write a key handler that also chains and gets the
ascii-interpretation of the key)

thanks,
