I think you missed the point. I DO want the case statement to
progress without breaks because I want the variable theModifier to be
ALL of the modifier keys that are being pressed on keyDown. As I
understand it, case statements without breaks will do that.
No, they won't. Without a break statement, the following code *will be
executed* - i.e. *without* testing the subsequent condition.
e.g.
put 1 into v
switch
case v=1
put 1 after k
case v=2
put 2 after k
end switch
put k
will output "12". The first condition is tested, and it passes that test
- so the "1" is put into K. Then the code falls through (without testing
whether or not "v=2" and the second code fragment is executed - so the
"2" is put after K
And it still doesn't explain how I can end up with a Ctrl in
theModifier when only the shift key was being held down.
Yes it does :-)
If anyone would please feel free to paste my snippet (previously
posted) into a stack and observe what happens, I'd be curious if it
were just me. I am after all going through a KVM switch and a USB hub.
I no longer have your snippet of code - but if I correctly understand
what you want, you could do something like
if the optionKey is down then
put "Opt " after theModifier
end if
if the CommandKey is down then
put "Cmd " after theModifier
end if
if the shiftKey is down then
put "Shft " after theModifier
end if
if the controlKey is down then
put "Ctrl " after theModifier
end if
etc.
If you want to test each condition, it's easier to use 'if's than a
'switch'.
