This can pretty much be implimented into any procedure where you need sticky key. Only problem though is that if you want instant feedback on the press procedure, you can't check for a hold prior to that so on a hold, the press command will always get executed.. It can be annoying in some cases. I don't know if you can use this for anything, as I'm not quite sure what your issue is exactly - haven't had time to test it myself - but it's what I got on the matter.

Its pretty easy to get the camera going but hard to stop the loop on key release. Maya will finish the "on press" command before ever doing the "on release" which is supoosed to stop the animation. I guess i will need threads. Anyone has experience doing something like that or hints? Regards, katrin -- Psssst! Schon vom neuen GMX MultiMessenger gehört?
