I was reading up on it a bit, since KernelPanic brought it up in another thread. Apparently FreeGlut is compatible with Windows, Apple and Linux. I see it handles key modifies like Ctrl, but I can't find a list of the combos it supports. This could mean it supports all, which sadly GLUT in OpenGL does not. So have any developers looked into this as an alternative? I'm keeping in mind FreeGlut would need to include all GLUT functions. To that end, AI says:
Yes, freeglut is designed to be a full replacement for the original OpenGL Utility Toolkit (GLUT) and does everything that GLUT does, with some enhancements and improvements. It is also more stable and has fewer bugs than the original GLUT.
Would a change be in order, or would licensing be an issue?
