AW: AW: Is there a mapping table for all rawKeyUp Codes? No solution yet with LC 8

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Hello Richmond,

an essential feature of my main programs, which I just wanted to release in a new Quicktime free version is to enter text.
As I have pointed out in my thread "LC 8: no keyUp at fast enter" you can't enter fast text in LC anymore, because the keyup handler (the engine?) swallows chars.

Now I wanted to workaround with rawkeyup, catching the codes and mapping them back into the current chars. But now I find that there are duplicate codes in rawkeyup, which prevent me to map the codes back to the current chars.

Perhaps my English is too bad, to explain this correct.

And I am sure, that it is not an issue of indy, it's an issue of LC 8 (what I need because of working without QT)

Why are you stuck with LiveCode 8?

1. My Indy licence lets me go on downloading commercial versions until it expires (sometime in 2018).

2. If this is not possible, you can, at least, download the Community version of later builds and fiddle around to see what happens there.

When testing a prototype it seemed to be easy, but now there are some pitfalls I don't get over. On Mac OS X 10.11, German system, German keyboard I get with some different char the same keyname.
