new keys usable?

I think that in the next version of Scratch they should allow you to use keys such as shift and enter and stuff like that.

Re: new keys usable?

Yeah. I fully agree. You should be able to use all keys. When you want to select a key for the "When ____ key is pressed" block, just click the text box and type in the key you want!

Re: new keys usable?

I, too, would like to sense all the keys, especially the = and the enter (return). Some of my third graders have written math games for their first grade buddies. While you can enter numbers from the keyboard or calculator buttons (sprites), you can only click a button (an equal sign sprite or "Check your answer" sprite) to check for correct responses. It would be nice to allow students to hit the = or return key to accept their answers.

Thank you.

Re: new keys usable?

Actually, it is possible to use the "return"button already. The green flag script will run when you press return, and for math projects you can program a reset with "when r key pressed".

To be honest I don't remember suggesting this... Strange.

Re: new keys usable?

In word processors and projects where you program typing stuff, you're limited to the letters, numbers, space and arrow keys. What about the other keys?  yikes  It wouldn't hurt to give more options, would it?  smile

I support!  smile  It would really help word processors for one - sometimes I consider making one but get put off by the fact that you can't use those other characters.  tongue
