More button pressed options.

<key[  ]pressed?>
I want it so that you can include more keys like alt or control.
    Example: 
<key[ Alt ]pressed?>   
<key[ Control ]pressed?>

No... not yet, at least.  sad


I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

I think enter is the same as the green flag button.

Re: More button pressed options.

Alt and Windows-key won't work, because us Mac users don't have those keys. (We have Command and Option)

Re: More button pressed options.

@fg123 if((keyIsDown Alt) And (keyIsDown C))

Thats just there so users of Bootcamp feel more comfortable. I don't think it actually broadcasts "alt" when pressed.

Just for the record, here is an Apple keyboard:

I think the "Windows" key on a PC is reserved for the system like Ctrl-Alt-Del anyway.
Can someone confirm if Smalltalk/Java can even read these keys?

Anyway, I guess the Mac version of Scratch could just have slightly different coding to allow for Command and Option.

Re: More button pressed options.

These are all good suggestions, so I put them all together.

We need keys:
windows:
Control
Alt
Shift
All basic puntuation
The symbols above 1-0  !@#$%^&*()
The F1-12
tab
Mac:
Add option and command.


Hai.
