the real secret of 'shift' is how the h*** do we get it so that it can sense it?  like in the key [ ] pressed block...

You use this code:

Code:

asciiFor: t1 
    | t2 |
    t1 size = 1 ifTrue: [^ t1 first asciiValue].
    t2 _ t1 localized.
    'space' localized = t2 ifTrue: [^ Character space asciiValue].
    'enter' localized = t2 ifTrue: [^ Character cr asciiValue].
    'up arrow' localized = t2 ifTrue: [^ 30].
    'down arrow' localized = t2 ifTrue: [^ 31].
    'right arrow' localized = t2 ifTrue: [^ 29].
    'left arrow' localized = t2 ifTrue: [^ 28].
    'up' = t1 ifTrue: [^ 30].
    'down' = t1 ifTrue: [^ 31].
    'right' = t1 ifTrue: [^ 29].
    'left' = t1 ifTrue: [^ 28].
    'shift' = t1 ifTrue: [^ 16].
    'control' = t1 ifTrue: [^ 17].
    'alt' = t1 ifTrue: [^ 18].
    'backspace' = t1 ifTrue: [^ 8].
    'caps lock' = t1 ifTrue: [^ 20].
    'left windows' = t1 ifTrue: [^ 91].
    'right windows' = t1 ifTrue: [^ 92].
    'f1' = t1 ifTrue: [^ 112].
    'f3' = t1 ifTrue: [^ 114].
    'f4' = t1 ifTrue: [^ 115].
    'f5' = t1 ifTrue: [^ 116].
    'f6' = t1 ifTrue: [^ 117].
    'f7' = t1 ifTrue: [^ 118].
    'f8' = t1 ifTrue: [^ 119].
    'f9' = t1 ifTrue: [^ 120].
    'f10' = t1 ifTrue: [^ 121].
    'f11' = t1 ifTrue: [^ 122].
    'f12' = t1 ifTrue: [^ 123].
    'escape' = t1 ifTrue: [^ 27].
    'enter' = t1 ifTrue: [^ 13].
    ^ -1

Put it in:

Re: The secrets of "Shift"

Turn off fill screen then right click on one of the script categorys three times, then click on the "drag me" button then you can move them into different places.


Yeah, I'm mostly inactive.  I check in once in a while though.  If you want to contact me, I have a contact form at my website, http://escratch.org

Ok, here's how:
Shift click "r"
Turn the fill screen off
Click the white space
Select new morph
Mouse over the video option
Select the option to add video
NO WAY!

@Your earlier post: Yeah... I'm just trying anything, to be honest...

I've found out a way of working on multiple projects in the same window, by turning fill screen off, then shift-clicking the white space, and selecting the only option (should be called ScratchFrame). Then, some little icons will appear, and if you click the green one in the top right corner, it duplicates the frame. Then, there's a khaki icon on the middle left, which you can minimise the frame. There's also a salmon-pink icon in the top left, with an "X" on it - it deletes the frame.

And as far as I'm aware, these extra frames function fully - blocks seem to work normally... Sprites and scripts can be transferred between frames, although the sprites don't show in the area below the stage...

Wolfie1996 wrote:

Found another one!
Yes, I have done this, it just duplicates the scratch frame, same as shift clicking the scratch frame and pressing the duplicate button.
Shift-click the "R", then turn fill screen off. Then, shift-click the "Scripts" tab. You can change the text to anything - the same applies to the "Sounds" tab, but, strangely, not to the "Costumes/backgrounds" tab... pretty useless, but I was clicking anything, and it was quite a fun little trick, so I thought I'd share it  smile

It works fine on the costumes and background tabs. Shift click until the pink text is String.


If you are reading this, please read to the end, because if you don't you won't know what's at the end. Don't just skip to the end though otherwise you won't be able to read the middle, which is most important. Now you must be wondering why you just read all that, the reason is you may have not noticed something, read it again and see if you notice it this time  smile

It doesn't take you to Squeak, Scratch is already in Squeak. It just takes you to a different Squeak project. And this is old news.

EDIT: Found another trick. Shift-click the sprite thumbnail at the top of the scripts pane and it scrolls you back to the top of the selected tab.

Re: The secrets of "Shift"

I got one. Shift click and hold one of the tabs (costume/background, costumes or sounds) and you can highlight it.
Now you can type in the tabs!
LOL!
