but you can use some keys of the ascii keyboard for "play", "stop","rec", etc, and print messages in the shell if you need to (simply with the [print] object)
that was my first thought, but if you press a key on the console, it's not grabbed by pd ... i actually don't know why, but it's possible, that pd's keyboard access is through the gui ...
If you're on Linux you can use Hans' linuxevent objects which read globally.
do i? i only have my mouse listed in /dev/input, but not the keyboard...
[linuxevent] supports any device that the Linux event system does. The Linux event mostly supports USB devices, so AFAIK PS/2 mice don't work, for example. So maybe only USB keyboards work with this, but I'd like to be wrong about this.
You might need to load a kernel module like evdev, or usbkeyb or something like that.
