Re: My sticky fingers
This works for me on macOS Mojave 10.14.15 using LiveCode 9.0.4. By "works", I mean it does some things that I think might be close to what you want. I have a field named "test field" on a card and button to clear that. I hold down keys while the field does not have the focus. I would guess you can extend this to backspace. local keyIsUp = true on arrowKey k if keyIsUp then doSomething k end if put false into keyIsUp log "arrowKey" && k end arrowKey on keyDown k if keyIsUp then doSomething k end if put false into keyIsUp log "keyDown" && k end keyDown on rawKeyUp put true into keyIsUp log "rawKeyUp" end rawKeyUp command doSomething k log "did" && k end doSomething command log s put s & tab & the long seconds & lf after field "test field" of me end log > On Jun 10, 2019, at 11:02 AM, Richmond via use-livecode > wrote: > > Many things may be worn out . . . certainly > my patience is wearing a bit thin when I cannot > stop a command repeating itself because an end-user has got his/her finger > stuck on an arrowkey. > > Richmond. > > On 10.06.19 19:40, JB via use-livecode wrote: >> The keyboard might be worn out. >> >> JB >> >> >>> On Jun 10, 2019, at 8:05 AM, J.

Re: My sticky fingers
Perhaps this would need a delay after the pass. For example, wait until the key
is up and then maybe wait a bit more. This would allow all of the events to
come in before they are flushed. Maybe.
(I think my state-variable method is simpler, but simple is in the eye of the
beholder.)

Many things may be worn out . . . certainly my patience is wearing a bit thin when I cannot stop a command repeating itself because an end-user has got his/her finger stuck on an arrowkey. Richmond.
