Hi Mark, thank you for jumping in. interesting to know your explanations. I was catching the user input to pass it to a SQL for selecting data. I will modify my script to *textChanged* and see what happens (probably it will be solved).

Can you explain what effect you are trying to achieve? There might be another way to do what you want. The keyUp message isn't quite what it appears to be - it is a synthetic message generated by the engine *after* passing a keyDown event through the message path. In particular, it has no direct relation to the user actually releasing a key. In theory, keyUp is equivalent to doing: on keyDown pKey send "keyUp pKey" to me in 0 millisecs end keyDown In general, there is no guaranteed one-to-one mapping between key strokes and keyDown/keyUp messages as it can sometimes take multiple key presses to generate a single character (e.g. alt-e e to get e-acute on Mac). This makes doing any wrangling from rawkey codes to characters quite hard - as it depends entirely on the specific keyboard layout a user has set, or which input method is in use. If you are doing entry into a field and want to be notified of a user editing action which has changed the content *after* the content has been changed you could try using the 'textChanged' message. This is sent after any user editing operation has completed, but before the screen is unlocked and the changes displayed.
