I may be a bit stupid, but as far as I understand you are trying to do this:
1. You keep an arrow key pressed down,
2. You do other things with other keys while the arrow key is pressed down.
I cannot begin to try to answer your question until you either
confirm what I have written or say that I am wrong and then
explain, clearly, what you want to do.

I have a field with a number in it. when focused, I want the value to

How can I ensure that message are terminated as soon as arrow key is
released?
What handler are you using? I just did a test with rawKeyDown and
arrowKey and they all stop when I release the key. (Though arrowkey
seems to be ignoring left and right keys in LC 9 for some reason.)
