[Lazarus] key press in graphics

[duilio foschi]

Hi Jim,

it is not clear to me if you want to write a windows application or a
console application.

In the 1st case, you mostly use the OnKeyDown/OnKeyUp and
OnMouseMove/OnMouseDown/OnMouseUp events of the form.

For the 2nd case, you could find useful infos here (originally for Delphi):

You may find this free library helpful:
