Re: ArrowKey Handler in LiveCode 8?
A few words in defense of the LC dev team: We have the first stable release, a dot-dot-release ... And I couldn't even find in 5 minutes an arrowkey on one of the available mobiles around!

Re: ArrowKey Handler in LiveCode 8?
I assume (???) a lot of these "oversights" are the result of the 'fact' (?) that the Livecode people have gone back to square one and virtually recreated Livecode /ad novum/ rather than adding incrementally on top of Livecode 7. I don't know whether this is true. But it seems the 'kindest' explanation of why a fair few of these things keep cropping up. R.

If you place an additional object (like a scrolling list field) onto the
card and click it so that it has focus, and then hit the arrow keys, your
object to move will behave as you expect. arrowkey is sent to the focused
object, then passed up to the card. Its this bug.

If there isn't a focused object, arrowkey is supposed to be sent to the card. This isn't happening in 8. If you place an additional object (like a scrolling list field) onto the card and click it so that it has focus, and then hit the arrow keys, your object to move will behave as you expect. arrowkey is sent to the focused object, then passed up to the card.

Re: arrowKey 'up' and 'down'
Heres my take on it. Moved most of the code to the graphic. Game loops work so much better for this type of thing because you avoid the "arrowkey" repeat problem entirely. All it does is loop, look at what keys are down, and acts appropriately. Changed the move distance to 5, and increment a counter to pick the next animation frame. Added a start button to start and stop the loop. Great penguin graphics, love the affect! Heres a link to the modified stack.

when I hit my right arrow key ONCE the object moves and then animates ONCE.
HOWEVER, if I keep my finger on the right arrow key the movement
repeats, but the multiple
instances of the "send signal to object" scriptLine get "saved up" and
fire at the point I take my finger
off the arrow key;
The signals are added to a queue but don't get a chance to fire, presumably
because the arrowkey message is happening repeatedly. Queued messages need some
idle time before they'll execute.
This might work better if you add "without waiting" to the move command, allowing the
handler to continue immediately, and then call the animation handler directly without using
"send".
How can I tell when an end-user ('punter') has stopped pressing an arrowKey?
Try rawKeyUp, but you may not need that if you change the move command.

Re: arrowKey 'up' and 'down'
Also, you might include “pass arrowKey” at the end of the script

Queued messages need some idle time before they'll execute.
This might work better if you add "without waiting" to the move

Try rawKeyUp, but you may not need that if you change the move command.

arrowKey 'up' and 'down'
OK, OK, I've been messing around with moving daft images around using the
arrowKeys on my keyboard - nothing new there.
However, I have been moving graphic objects around that have been
flipping their way
through a series of backGroundPattern images as they have been moved,
and this has
created a problem:
if I have this sort of code in my cardScript:
(pseudocode)
on arrowKey ArKey
if ArKey = "right" then
move object in some way this line defines
send signal to object to initiate animation script within object
end if
end arrowKey
when I hit my right arrow key ONCE the object moves and then animates ONCE.
HOWEVER, if I keep my finger on the right arrow key the movement
repeats, but the multiple
instances of the "send signal to object" scriptLine get "saved up" and
fire at the point I take my finger
off the arrow key; both looking daft and, potentially, interfering with
what I should see when, say,
I press the left arrow key.
Obviously "this will not do" . . . .
So?
I tried a keyUp script in my cardScript, but that failed to fire.
So?
How can I tell when an end-user ('punter') has stopped pressing an arrowKey?
There is no 'arrowKeyUp' or 'arrowKeyDown' as far as I know.
Richmond.

Re: list field not getting arrowkey msg
Yep, it works well, whether its a single field or not. The only instance where it doesn't work correctly is if click to toggle is on (so that there are no hilitedlines) Focus is accepted, but no selection is made. Of course with click to toggle on, using arrow keys to select multiple lines would take custom coding anyway. Your code is similar to mine, the only addition I made was to select char 1 to 0 when no hilitedline is available.

Re: list field not getting arrowkey msg
When I add select line lineNbr of me or select before line lineNbr of me right after set the hilitedline of me to lineNbr in my mouseup handler, it makes no difference. Arrowkeys up and down still do nothing. Not sure what you mean when you say that an insertion point of some type is necessary, since this is a field with listbehavior = true and it never has an insertion point, just a hilitedline. And, I repeat, I have an equivalent list field in another stack with the same properties that works fine with the arrowkeys to change the hilitedline with no select line x or other work-around needed, ie, it works the way list fields are supposed to work: just click on the field to hilite a line, then arrowkey up or down to change the hilitedline. Still a mystery. I may need to delete the field and replace it with a copy of my working field from the other stack, then alter the script to work in the problematic stack. -- Peter Peter M.

What I mean is.. When I use tab to change focus between fields, the arrow keys do nothing in the field I tabbed into. When I click and select a line in the field, then the arrow keys work. In the former, the focusedobject correctly shows the field in question, but has no selectedchunk. In the latter, the focus is correct, but the seletedchunk reflects the line clicked.

Re: list field not getting arrowkey msg
So creating a new list field (with the same script as the old one) and deleting the old list field did the trick. I don't know what field property setting that I was unaware of caused this problem. AFAIK, there should be no field property that blocks a list field from getting arrowkey messages, but something was doing it…. Anyway, problem solved. -- Peter Peter M.

I have a list field in one stack that isn't behaving properly. List fields are supposed to allow up and down arrowkeys to move the hilited line.

Re: list field not getting arrowkey msg
Not sure if this is what you're seeing, but if you are using tab to enter the next field, then using arrow keys to navigate up and down, it doesn't work. (6.7.6) When you tab into a list field, the hilite remains, but there is no selection in the field. IE no insertion point, so the arrow keys don't work. I've found that if you select the hilited line as you tab into the field it solves this problem. If this is the problem you are seeing, clicking a line in the recalcitrant field should make the arrow keys start working, because the click selects a line. Another direction to solve it would be to catch the arrowkey message in the field, and if there is a hilite, but no lines selected, select the hilited line then pass arrowkey. If there are no lines selected, and no hilites, select and hilite the first line. If I understand correctly, the second part should only be necessary if you have toggle hilites turned on. (because otherwise when you tab into the field, a line is selected.) I just noticed another interesting thing (Still in 6.7.6) Selecting click to toggle in the inspector puts a checkmark into mutli-line and non-contiguous (as it should?) but clicking away and coming back to the object, only click to toggle is still selected. Oh, and final note on this, if you have multiline non-contiguous selected you'd have to account for that too. Check the focused object when the arrow keys aren't working. If the correct field is focused, check the selectedline to see if there is one. If not, the arrow keys fail to work. On Sun, Jul 19, 2015 at 7:07 AM, Peter M.

Re: list field not getting arrowkey msg
Strange that its not actually taking focus when you click on it. As far as there being a selection, it's weird. The tab thing I was mentioning freaked me out. Focusing the object with tab worked (the focusedobject said what I expected) but the arrow keys wouldn't work. When checking the selectedline, there was no selected line. Actually clicking into the field would then make the arrow keys work, and the selectedline showed correctly. Seems to me that tabbing into a field (which correctly focuses on the field) would let the arrowkeys work but apparently not. Either way, glad you have a method figured out.

Re: arrowKey
Thank you Mike, I was able to use your script. I realize that getting the arrows key is not as trivial as get the mouse or get the optionKey. However your script works fine.

Re: arrowKey

Re: arrowKey
Is there some reason not to do it this way?: on arrowkey which put the loc of button square into tRect switch which case left subtract 1 from item 1 of tRect break case right add 1 to item 1 of tRect break case up subtract 1 from item 2 of tRect break case down add 1 to item 2 of tRect break default pass arrowkey break end switch set the loc of button square to tRect end arrowkey Put the handler in an invisible button and insert the button's script as a frontscript on opencard. If you put it into the card script then it will work fine usually, but the problem comes if the user has switched the focus off the card by clicking on some other control, so a frontscript is safer that way. Remember to remove the frontscript on closecard, so it doesn't start intercepting arrowkey messages elsewhere. -- Peter Peter M.
