controlKeyDown within macro

[CARL Philippe (LBP)]

Dear all,

Is there a reason why the macro methods "isKeyDown(key)" and/or
"setKeyDown(keys)" are only applying for the "shift", "alt" or "space" keys
and not the "control" one?

I ask this question given especially that there is already the "public
static boolean controlKeyDown()" method within the ij.IJ.java file.

My best regards,

Philippe

The isKeyDown(key) and setKeyDown(keys) macro functions support the control key in the latest daily build (1.52o4).

Use this macro to test isKeyDown():

  print("\nClose Log window to abort");
  setKeyDown("none");
  while (true) {
     keys = "Keys down: ";
     if (isKeyDown("shift")) keys+="shift ";
     if (isKeyDown("alt")) keys+="alt ";
     if (isKeyDown("space")) keys+="space ";
     if (isKeyDown("control")) keys+="control ";
     print(keys);
     wait(1000);
     if (!isOpen("Log")) break;
  }
