The example in the help doc always returns 0 on Ubuntu 14, I was going to use it for simple text entry but it always returns 0 so I will have to figure out another solution.

Weird, it's working OK here - monkey v79e, 32 bit ubuntu 14 with latest updates.

It turns out one of the kb-dev packages were corrupt I reinstalled and it works OK now.

Incidentally GetChar only returns in OnUpdate but KeyDown returns everywhere maybe having where they should be used in the docs would save a lot of headaches?
