Would the type command do what you want?
From the dictionary:
Note: As the type command is designed to emulate exactly what
happens when
a user types a key on the keyboard, the rawKeyDown, keyDown,
rawKeyUp and
keyUp messages are sent by the command. If these messages are
blocked, the
text will not appear in the selected field.
It's a thought.
This works very well indeed:
on mouseUp
type "Q"
end mouseUp
on rawKeyDown RAWK
put RAWK
end rawKeyDown
I get 81

Richmond.
However, if I select a different keyboard layout, say "AZERTY" (French)
and run the same script I still get 81, which means that the real
rawKeyDown
is NOT being delivered (it should be 65).
What is needed is NOT to TYPE "Q", but to be able to send a rawKey
command ???????????
Richmond.
Obviously, on Linux at least, the IDE CANNOT pick up RAW keycodes per se
as the operating system's
keyboard layout "thingy" gets in between the IDE and the RAW signal
coming into the computer from the
physical keyboard.
This is a topic I have raised on-and-off for the last 5 years
here-and-hereabout :(
In a perfect world (Ha, Ha, Ha) the IDE should be able to distinguish
between which physical key on a keyboard
is pressed and which alphanumeric signal is pumped out by the system
when that physical key is pressed.
