Key combinations

CadFather

does anyone know if you can use multiple acc keys? like CTRL+ALT

i looked around and saw nothing, tried with && check but no results (the first key has priority)

another 'sorry can't do'?

Maybe something like this:

def onKeyDown(key, repeat, flags, view)
if key == altKey
    altDown = true
end #if
if key == controlKey
     controlDown = true
end #if

if altDown && controlDown == true
   #do stuff here
end
end# def

def onKeyUp(key, repeat, flags, view)
    if key == altKey
         altDown = false
    end #if
    if key == controlKey
        controlDown = false
    end #if
		 
end #def

The flags argument passed to onKeyDown and onKeyUp tells you the state of the modifier keys. It is a bit mask with bits set for the keys that are pressed. You can figure them out by printing the flag values you get for various combinations. However, I believe they are OS-specific and sometimes hardware dependent.

Yes, messy - but the mess originates in the OS, not SketchUp!
