Hello,

You're welcome. Thank you for the attention.
Yes I am also using onboard in 10.10 and I also do get the color
change on button press.

Do you think it would be overzealous to globally add such a function
as proposed ? I know it is a very special use case but if you think of
the evolving tablet (or other large touchscreen-) devices it may be
used broadly soon.
I might test it on my device and see if it works well. The problem is
I don't have much coding experience and have no idea where to insert
it. Where are the lines that make the pressed key go black located ?

Kind regards
Luke
