So . . . messing around, as one does, I started to think about scancodes:
that is to say, signals sent by USB devices (and others)
when keys are pressed . . .
The main reason for this is that if I have this sort of code in a
LiveCode stack:
on rawKeyDown RD
put RD
end rawKeyDown
on rawKeyUp RU
put RU
end rawKeyUp
RD and RU will be the same,
while the actual scancodes sent from the keyboard to the computer should
be different for
keyDown and keyUp.
I realise that this is fairly silly unless one wants one's program to do
different things from a keyDown to a keyUp, and that there are
comparatively straightforward
ways to ensure this without accessing the scancodes.
Notwithstanding . . .
