So, here I am, during my luch break, at home, AND . . .

having had "No joy" with this on my G3 iMac running Mac OS 10.4 at the
school:

on mouseUp
    if the altKey is down then
      put "down" into fld "fOUTPUT"
    end if
end mouseUp

it works on MacINTEL 10.6.7 !!!!!

but NOT on Xubuntu 12.10.

Do INTEL Macs send rawKey messages from modifier keys, while
PPC Macs do not?

I think every OS is different. Try a handler using "on optionKeyDown". Note that no message is sent with the key alone, it is only sent when the user types a key combo, but for your shortcuts that's what you want anyway.


Thanks, Jacque . . . as usual I have solved the problem having already made myself look
a complete fool all over the use-list . . . LOL

Nothwithstanding the above, I do wonder why Livecode-on-Mac cannot grab onto rawKeyDowns
for modifier keys.
