Was just mucking around with a stack called "KEY NAMER" which I uploaded to revOnline a couple of years ago. It is a crude little stack that has this script in its single card:
on rawkeydown KDWN put KDWN into fld "KNAME" end rawkeydown and, when you press a key down, surprise, surprise, you get a jolly numeric output in field "KNAME": not rocket science, but useful nevertheless. BUT . . . On my Macintosh, at least, this stack does not do its stuff when I press any of the modifier keys (Ctrl, Alt, Command). Therefore when I, for instance, press Command-A, the numeric output is exactly the same as pressing the A key by itself. This is not good, as the likes of myself and Marcus Lindley might find it useful to simulate Command/Ctrl-A, or other combinations which do not respond to rawKeyDown. Now, I am aware there are: controlKeyDown commandKeyDown messages and shiftKey altKey functions [why no 'altKeyDown' and 'shiftKeyDown' ???] so, I suppose, one would have to trap both command/controlKey and rawKeyDown simultaneously to fake command/control-A . . . Err, I think I have just answered my own question; what a monkey! sincerely, Richmond Mathewson. ____________________________________________________________ A Thorn in the flesh is better than a failed Systems Development Life Cycle. ____________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
