Slightly less old-hat (MacOS 10.15) - Works there too (enter, return, function keys)
Only one, a Lenovo keyboard I have at work. I think it came off a gaming PC - but yeah, that says 'shift-lock' instead of 'Caps Lock'. There's also one that says 'Hard-lock' too, which does the same thing. Think that was an HP one.richmond62 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2024 7:31 pm Mind you: do you know any recent systems or machines that have a SHIFT LOCK?

That thread exhibits a common pattern of that community: someone has a question, the question needs clarification to understand more precisely the intended use, one person asked for that clarification, everyone else just guesses and spawns pages of subthreads with adventurous speculation, and the OP hasn't returned to clarify the use case.richmond62 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2024 1:15 pm Would it be possible to implement enterKey() and returnKey() in OXT?

That would put LiveCode at a pip.
Having worked with keyDown/rawKeyDown plenty, trying for realtime input responsiveness (as mentioned like the way one would for using keyboard as game controller). I've had similar thoughts in regards to syntax inconsistency (another example: 'keysDown' message param will contain a character, but the keysDown contains rawKey code numbers and not characters). There's definitely been times I've thought it would be good to have the ability check using something like optionKeyDown() or returnKeyDown(). Like recently when I was building that On-Screen-Keyboard widget which is setup in a way to respond to both 'keyChar /keyNames and rawKey numbers that match the engines/XLib's numbers, which includes a default script that matches message (characters or names for non-printable char) OR rawKeyNumbers. But again it isn't like it's a lot of work to roll your own function for that (use 'the keysDown'), so I'd just do something like that and move on, never mentioning it in any forum anywhere.FourthWorld wrote: ↑Thu Jun 20, 2024 4:17 pm I recently spoke with a qualified developer about the possibility of addressing the need for recompilation for Apple's m-series processors. He passed, but AFAIK the need remains, yes?
For future discussions like that, which thread here offers the clearest description of the problem and remaining challenges?
I agree with Paul's assessment that, given Apple's history with architectural change, at this point we likely have somewhere between 18 and 36 months before any Intel-dependent engine will no longer run on the one OS where xTalks have ever had a foothold.
So we have time, and the sooner that challenge is addressed the more confidence folks can have in investing in building GPL software on this platform.
