What button is the user holding down?
-
Anyone know how to sense that? I'd like to read the keys so when the user presses a button linked to a script of mine with their mouse, something happens according to what letter they're pressing down on the keyboard when the button is pressed.

In the tool class there are methods that let you detect when a button is pressed or released. I suppose you could store button they have pressed, and then clear it onve they release the key. That would be a way to detect if they are holding a key down.

Aha! The tool class!
Thanks for the info. I skipped over that in the api doc as it didn't sound like a match.

In my opinion, using the tool class creates a little bit more work, but it opens a LOT more possibilities. So if you can figure out how to use the tool class, there is lots of good stuff you can do with it,

Yeah. Looking into it, there is a lot more work involved. I'd have to change my program quite a bit to fit it into this programming structure.
