John R Conrad YaBB Newbies Offline Posts: 4 Greenville, SC	Distinguish between "Up Arrow" and Ctrl-"Up Arrow" Feb 7th, 2010, 2:13pm   As a rank newcomer, I'm having trouble trying to use keyPressed (and keyReleased?) to distinguish between inputting "up arrow" (i.e. keyCode == 38) by itself, and ctrl-"up arrow" (i.e. keyCode ==17 and then 38).  Can sometime take pity on my and show me how, please?

Re: Distinguish between "Up Arrow" and Ctrl-"Up Arrow" Reply #1 - Feb 7th, 2010, 2:32pm   Found that on the forum, but I failed to note down the author... Code: boolean ctrlPressed; void keyPressed() {  // special key  if (key == CODED) {    if (keyCode == CONTROL) { ctrlPressed = true;    }  }  // regular key  else {    if (ctrlPressed) { // CTRL + KEY    }    else { // OTHER    }  } } void keyReleased() {  if (key == CODED) {    if (keyCode == CONTROL) { ctrlPressed = false;    }  } }
