Hello Pure Flexers,

I wanted to share a small design question i am on.
I have several mediators who need to know the state of shift key (stage) at a given time.

For now each mediator was listening for key down event and updating a local boolean isShiftKeyActive.
Each mediator also have their own proxy.
I was thinking of adding a sharedProxy unique for all mediators which will have other properties and actions than a shift key state holder.

What do you think ?  ???

Instead of having each mediator listening for the event, (and thus having a reference to the same view component (the application), you should have an ApplicationMediator that listens and rebroadcasts to the other mediators as a notification.

Ok and they still keep their local boolean.
I created a keyBoardProxy to hold the variable in the mean time but using notifications fired from application Mediator is cleaner.
