Very difficult key codes!

macgile

hello all
First sorry for my poor English:)

three days since I am fighting with the shortcut.
I want to delete the paths in the plugin camerakeymaker with the shortcut ALT + DELETE

In the MAC OSX (ALT + DELETE) it's available only on onKeyUp and work fine
on the PC it's available on the onkeyDow AND onkeyup.

But in the pc it does not work correctly on onkeyup

onkeyup;

        if ((key == VK_DELETE) && ((flags & VK_ALT) == VK_ALT))
         p "OnKeyDown; DELETE PATH"
         ....
        end

When I press (alt + delete) or (delete only) it pass in statement

do you can help me ???

best regard

I haven't been able to trigger a VK_ALT on either system.

I was never able to catch VK_DELETE under Windows...

I would say that straightforward simplicity is the lowest form of elegance.

Here is what I find, under Windows:

When only Delete is pressed, it triggers only onKeyUp.
When Shift+ Delete is pressed, it only onKeyUp.
When Ctrl+ Delete is pressed, it triggers both onKeyDown and onKeyUp.
When Alt+ Delete is pressed, it triggers both onKeyDown and onKeyUp.

Thank's thomthom

thank you it is very useful

oups

fix for mac :
K_CTRL_ALT = VK_CONTROL.to_s << VK_ALT.to_s
K_ALT_DEL = VK_ALT.to_s << VK_DELETE.to_s

onKeyUp
#window || mac (on mac, delete it triggers only in onKeyUp)
if(@flags == K_ALT_DEL || (@flags + key.to_s) == K_ALT_DEL))

do something

end

hi Dan Rathbun,

first thank's to reply

i have found this solution

windows :
K_CTRL_ALT = COPY_MODIFIER_KEY.to_s << ALT_MODIFIER_KEY.to_s
K_ALT_DEL = ALT_MODIFIER_KEY.to_s << VK_DELETE.to_s

mac:
K_CTRL_ALT = VK_CONTROL.to_s << VK_ALT.to_s
K_ALT_DEL = VK_ALT.to_s << VK_DELETE.to_s

@flags =""

CTRL + ALT or ALT + DEL

def onKeyDown(key, repeat, flags, view)

SAVE KEY to string

@flags += key.to_s
end

def onKeyUp(key, repeat, flags, view)

if (@flags == K_CTRL_ALT)

do something

end

#window or mac (on mac, delete it triggers only in onKeyUp)
if(@flags == K_ALT_DEL || (@flags + key.to_s) == K_ALT_DEL))

do something

end

@flags = ""
end

it's not "très élégant" but it works with any key combination

I'm unable to access my mac atm. Anyone able to run this on Mac and check the results? I'm curious if VK_DELETE register on key down under OSX.

Also note that TAB on MAC only fires with onKeyUp and is ignored otherwise !
The TAB key == 9 or 15 or 48 [for PC or MAC or ??]
