[Proto-Scripty] Re: KEY_DOWN event
I see now I made a mistake in my question. I know where it is in the
manual and I know what it's for, I just don't know hów to... For
catching the mouse-events the manual is clear enough (there's a clear
example in the next paragraph), but there is no example for catching
the keyboard events.
About the contribution: I still don't know how to use the catching of
keyboard events, so I can't make a piece of code to send as
contribution. But once I do know, I will!

Hi,
Only thing left for me to complain is that I still don't know what
names like KEY_DOWN are for...
They're for the keyboard events; see the link in my previous post.
...and that
there's nothing in the manual (hint).
Isn't there?[1, fourth paragraph] But by all means, feel free to post
a documentation ticket to Lighthouse with a patch in markdown format,
contributions are welcome. :-) Details.[2]

Hi,
If you want to know whether the control key was down when the mouse
was clicked, then yes, the ctrlKey property of the mouse click event
object is what you want.
element.observe('click', function(event) {
if (event.ctrlKey) {
// Something cool here
}
}
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/event.ctrlKey
If you're looking to receive an event (separate from the click) when
the control key is pressed, that varies quite a bit by
browser:http://unixpapa.com/js/key.html
But my impression is that you're just looking for it when the mouse is
clicked, which is much more reliable.

Hi,
I was looking for a way to capture a mouse-click plus ctrl-button. As
I am using Prototype now for some time (it's great!), I thought
Prototype could help me with this too.
Sure, the manual is clear enough of how to capture a mouse-click event
(that works fine here), but how about the ctrl-button? According to
the manual, there's a list of key codes to be used (KEY_DOWN, for
example), but there is no KEY_CTRL and there is nowhere to be found
how they should be used.
It says it's self explanatory, but for me it isn't. :(
I think I can get it to work with event.ctrlKey, but I have a feeling,
this is not the way.
Thanks in advance.

PS. I hope I made my problem clear enough, I know I'm not very good at
explaining, especially because english is not my mother tongue.

The down arrow. Perhaps the preceding key up, key left and key right
options could have given you a clue...
