The current keyboard support in SilverCreator is not very good. The Key Down event should only be used for typing (such as the fake edit field in the Palace Chat demo), or situations where a key is pressed only once and not held down.

There are some workarounds. Consider using these functions. They update instantly with true or false when the respective key is held down. You can also hold down, and check, several at the same time.

COMMANDKEY
OPTIONKEY
CONTROLKEY
SHIFTKEY

I will provide more information later. I just got a new Mac Pro* and REALbasic is not set up yet.

* PPC and 10.4 support is not going away because I got a Mac Pro. I do not subscribe to the elitist method of software development.

The G5 lasted me 6 years and I could have probably gone 2 more except for the Intel only software. I expect similar longevity from this computer. Also got the new 27" display with iSight. The old G5 will be used in the living room now to play movies and do whatever.

Lol, I didn't realize it would be such a hit. You should add it to the forum's smily list.

Gandolf your delay code is awesome I'll use it for now. (I modified it to slow down gradually so it's smoother with a higher speed)
I just hope SC b3 is released before the end date.
