[fpc-pascal] FPC Graphics options?

[James Richters]

I think I figured out my problem, but I'm not sure how to fix it.   I was looking at the code here: https://sourceforge.net/p/ptcpas/code/714/
And I see that the change made was to win32kbd.inc, but I don't think I'm using the updated version of it.   I think my problem is that I just compiled ptcgraph.pp and replaced ptcgraph.ppu in FPCWin\units\i386-win32\graph.... so apparently that's not the correct way to do it.    So then I tried adding the entire folder downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/projects/ptcpas/files/
Into a folder at FPCWin\units\i386-win32\ptcpas  then renaming the original ptccrt.ppu and ptcgraph.ppu located in FPCWin\units\i386-win32\graph but now It can't find ptcgraph, even though it's there under  FPCWin\units\i386-win32\ptcpas\ptcgraph so now I'm realizing that I'm just guessing and really don't have a clue the proper way to integrate this into my fpc compiler.

Could someone please tell me the correct way I should be doing this so that the compiler will find the correct versions of all the files necessary?

I started thinking about this, and did some more tests, and I think I have narrowed down what is really happening, but not sure how to fix it.   

The problem is not the ALT-tab from the graphics window,  it's ALT being pressed when the window focus changes.   CTRL is also affected, but not shift.  Try this:
Go to Graph window,  type some letters,  see that it's working correctly,  now hold just ALT, or CTRL - switch to another window by clicking on it.  Click on console window, see letters are working correctly, now go back to graph window,  anything you press acts like ALT, or CTRL is still being pressed until you actually enter a keystroke using ALT, or CTRL.   It seems to me there is probably some flag or variable being set that the alt or ctrl key is being pressed, but is being interrupted by the window focus change, when focus is brought back, the variable is still set for ALT or CTRL being down, but neither is down anymore, but the flag cannot be cleared until a key sequence using ctrl or alt is used.  I did also notice that just hitting alt or ctrl and releasing it in the graph window clears the condition and characters are back to normal again.
