I havent looked the logics but set() should be changed to store():
$$('textarea').each(function(item) {
item.addEvent('keydown', function(e) {
if (e.key == 'enter')
{
var now = new Date().getTime();
var elapse = now - this.retrieve('ago');
do_something(elapse);
this.store('ago', now);
}
});
});
http://mootools.net/docs/Element/Element#Element:store
And this example could give a nice customEvent:
