can I make an script that recognices key down and key up?

[gamuso]

hello...

here I am again trying to make things work better.

so, I would like that my script would recognice if I let my finger pushing down the key... and so the moment in which I stop pressing the key...

Is that possible with a phone?

thakyou so.

But of course. Lots of our scripts do this.

You need either a "keypad screen" or "mediaplayer screen" widget. Then handle the "process key down" and "process key up".

I suggest you have a look at the boiler-plate script code generated for you when you create a keypad script.

Best.

Well... I don´t understand the most of the things you have told me. But I have this:

using terms from application "SEC Helper"


on process invoke term
tell term
set player to make new keypad screen with properties {title:"Wireless Keyboard & Mouse", sends pen events:true}
tell player
make new text row with properties {horizontal alignment:left, overflow:wrap, font size:small, textual content:¬
"Prueba para key up and down
" & return ¬
}
end tell
push player
end tell
end process invoke



on process key down keyCode sent from pad
tell application "Live"
activate
end tell
tell application "SEC Helper"

if keyCode = "1" then
simulate keyboard virtual keycode 0
show screen message "1"

end if

end tell
return (true)
end process key down

end using terms from

What and how could I do to make number "1" to keep "active" until I do stop pressing the it´s key?

Thanks a lot, I so sorry to know so few about scripting... too many things already in my head!.

Not sure what virtual keycode 0 is supposed to do (this looks like a mistake).

Here's what you do:

simulate keyboard virtual down keycode xxxx

and

simulate keyboard virtual up keycode xxxx

hello, sorry, but the script I have sent to you is a simplification one from my real one. The real one have got "modifiers", and so I can not introduce "up" or "down" in the line, as the script tell me errors.

But when I have tryed with the simpler one tiping

"if keyCode = "1" then
simulate keyboard virtual down keycode 0
show screen message "1"

it doesn´t stop when I stopt presing key 1 (keycode 0 is = a) so it says aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. and never stops even when I don´t press key 1.

this is my real script (not including all number keys!):


property modifieroption : false
property modifierShift : false
property modifierList : {}


using terms from application "SEC Helper"



on process invoke term
tell term
set player to make new keypad screen with properties {title:"Wireless Keyboard & Mouse", sends pen events:true}
tell player
make new text row with properties {horizontal alignment:left, overflow:wrap, font size:small, textual content:¬
"Este sirve para: Disparar Rusos
" & return & ¬
"Red Button: Right Click " & return & ¬
"Center Button: Toggle Command" & return & ¬
"Mail Button: Toggle Control" & return & ¬
"Option + Mail Button: Toggle Option " & return & ¬
"Option + Green Button: Escape " & return & ¬
"Option + Red Button: Tab " & return ¬
}
end tell
push player
end tell
end process invoke


on process key down keyCode sent from pad
tell application "Live"
activate
end tell
tell application "SEC Helper"
-- show screen message keyCode

if keyCode = "^" then
-- Mail Key -- Shift Modifier
if modifierShift then
set modifierShift to false
show screen message "AUX OFF"
else
set modifierShift to true
show screen message "AUX ON"
end if
else if keyCode = "v" then
-- option + mail -- option
if modifieroption then
set modifieroption to false
show screen message "EFECTS OFF"
else
set modifieroption to true
show screen message "EFECTS ON"
end if
else
set modifierList to {}

if modifieroption then
set modifierList to {} & {"option"}
end if

if modifierShift then
set modifierList to {} & {"shift"}
end if

if keyCode = "1" then
simulate keyboard virtual keycode 0 modifiers modifierList
show screen message "1"
end if

set modifieroption to false
set modifierShift to false
end if
end tell
return (true)
end process key down



end using terms from
