Howdy List:

Got a user test happening tomorrow and ran up against an issue on Windows XP
where pressed keys cannot be reliably detected and am looking (praying) for
a workaround.


Have been trying to use the keysDown function to tell when keys are pressed,
versus not pressed (default behavior on Windows seems to be keyUp is
immediately sent after keyDown, regardless of whether key has been
released).  Even when used within a repeating handler set to 8 milliseconds
below, pressed keys are not reliably detected (empty is often returned even
while key is held down):
Can anyone see if this works differently for you?  If not, any ideas for a
workaround?  Tired and under then gun over here...



Works the same for me, sorry.
I believe this is the way it is expected to work on Windows. The key "repeat" behaviour is built-in.
I *think* there's a cure using
Start menu / Controls / Accessibility options


Select the keyboard tab

Click Filter keys

Click on "Settings" and then "Ignore repeated keystrokes"

I think it then does what you want - but wouldn't guarantee it (And also not sure if there is a compromise that keeps the keyboard usable for normal use AND does this.

Google for "repeat key windows" - good luck !
