Advice from Andre Garzia:
I have no problem with that and I use it here as well. Just do a visual
feedback like this:
on rawKeydown, check for the altKey and change all the labels of the
buttons for the
actions they will perform if that key is down, this way, as soon as
someone presses ALT,
Two writing tools that are worth considering
-- Focuswriter, a totally minimalist RTF generator
-- Lyx - a real writing tool, generates proper professionally typeset LaTex
and Postscript. It also will generate RTF.
If you haven't used Lyx, its not at all like any other writing tool, in
If you are using alt as a modifier:
on rawKeyDown
if altKey() = down then
-- do some stuff
end if
end rawKeyDown
If you just want to detect the alt key, one option could be to use the
idle message which essentially acts as a loop:
[ card or stack script ]
on idle
if altKey() = down

If I have this sort of script in my stack:
on rawKeydown
if altKey() = down then
put ALT down into fld AKD
end if
end rawKeydown
on Macintosh that ONLY WORKS if I am pressing an alphanumeric key while
holding the altKey down,
it DOES NOT work if all I do is press the altKey.
Now,
Late to this discussion but.. Polling (or maybe an external?) is the only
real solution for this problem right?

Polling the key downs is possible, but will slow down
a program considerably.

Use idle as scott said? Or, if you don't need it to be super responsive. IE
you're using visual cues as andre suggested, then polling every 100 or 150
milliseconds might suffice. Idle is probably easiest. Was wondering about
the external, seems that since this is related to os/arch even an

For your next books consider using scrivener. Its is a very good tool

Packt have a very precise structure to their books, and they get authors to
follow that by using a set of Word templates. Even with those templates it's
possible to go wrong, but I just feel sure that they wouldn't be able to cope
with a document from any other tool, unless they had someone on

My Devawriter does have to be 'super responsive' as it is, ultimately, a
glorified typewriter,
and as such should, in an ideal situation, work not much more slowly
than the
Yeah, too true. And if others are like me, having to wait for things to
catch up is really annoying!
Well, this is only osx (objective c) and I'm clueless about it, but the
example on this page might give someone who isn't a clueless c nub like me
a chance to build an external to catch key

I stated a while back that the online documentation in the Livecode
IDE crashed the thing in Linux; that statement should now be modified:
The documentation stack crashes LC under XFCE 4.8 and 4.10.
The documentation does NOT crash under GNOME 2 or 3.

On Macintosh, according to Apple's documentation the key code for
the left option key is 98 and 58 for the right option key.
There is a school of thought flying around that the key code for both is 35.
However . . . keysDown doesn't work for modifier keys on Mac . . .

I remembered something about updateScreen on the Game Academy, they used
dispatch to poll the stack for a screen refresh and it didn't seem to have too
much detrimental effect on the game, I had a quick look, took out the bones and

Good morning fine folks,
Does anyone have a link to the POP3 Lib that used to be posted on Sarah's
site? Thank you much!

If it helps anyone to find a copy, this was the original URL:
http://www.troz.net/rev/stacks/POP_library_demo.rev
So, presumably the stack is named POP_library_demo.rev, and may be on
someone's hard drive as we speak!

Colin,
That was it !! I tried your POP_library_demo search on an old PC I used to use
and voila! (I did not know the file name)
Thank you for that tip!
BTW...I have the file if someone would like to post it on a more accessible
site for the rest of us
