I'm pretty sure it just calls this function:

with appropriate input prepared.


As to listen to keyboard input, I'm again pretty sure you just 
need to call this function:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms646309%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

It needs a window and event loop to receive the message, but 
that's not rocket science either, my simpledisplay.d can do it or 
it isn't really hard to just do with the low level calls.


I'm not sure about how to do it on X11 off the top of my head, 
but there's functions to add event messages and listen to input 
from multiple windows, or you could open the /dev/input for the 
keyboard too if root. I've looked into this before and found a 
few options, but don't remember the details right now.


I don't want to give a sample program without testing it, and I'm 
on my Linux box right now, but if you don't have something by 
tomorrow I'll play for a while when i'm on my laptop.
