Summary of bug description * actual behaviour KeyEvent is not derived from mitkEvent so information (e.g. position on screen) gets lost along the event mechanism * expected behaviour KeyEvent is derived from mitkEvent and we can use all information Cause of the bug In mitkEventTypedefs.h the mitkKeyEvent and its superclass mitkBaseEvent is defined. Other interaction events are derived from mitkEvent. Proposed solution Dissolve mitkEventTypedefs.h and create a new class mitkKeyEvent which is derived from mitkEvent. Adapt the KeyPressEvent() method in mitkBaseRenderer. Affected classes mitkEventTypedefs.h mitkBaseRenderer How will the bugfix get tested? unit test for the new key event class
