Detect mouse button or key press without script GUI?

[fripholm]

I'm looking for a way to detect mouse button and/or key presses from a script in Reaper. I didn't find a way to do it without also having a GUI for the script. In this case a dedicated GUI is not an option.

Is there really no way?

reaper.JS_VKeys_GetState


From JS_ReaSriptAPI extension.

Thanks, X! Exactly what I was looking for.

I haven't been able to check it but I'm wondering if the following statement from your own docs about this function is still true?

* Mouse buttons and modifier keys are not (currently) reliably detected, and JS_Mouse_GetState can be used instead.

text from my doc is generated from reaper. I didnt add anything manually in the function doc. So all this is still true!
