Ah ok. So all declarations should come before code. Clearly I didn't pay
attention to the meaning of code-before-declaration.

Yes, this is a problem with all keybindings currently. I was thinking the
same about eating the actual keybinding when the pressed/clicked but I
hadn't given much thought about the corresponding release event(s). It does
seem like we'd need some kind of state tracking for this. I haven't looked
into it yet but maybe when a binding is detected, we could set something
(possibly on the binding list or similar?) to listen for release of the
events involved. I haven't given much thought to this nor have I looked
into it yet but will do so.

Also, is this a blocker? I don't see the patch in weston yet.


Thanks,

Scott
