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
