Hi all,
I'm a little confused by the behaviour of the [key] and [keyup] objects. What I'd expect is that they 'bang' and output the number only and only when a key is pressed (key) or depressed (keyup), while it looks like while a key is kept pressed they go on banging. Also a [keyup] seems to bang even when a key is 'down'. This also poses somewhat a problem with keyboard 'poliphony' say I keep a key pressed while also pressing other[s].
Is my expectation simply wrong? I noticed that the behaviour is different when pressing keys like SHIFT, CTRL etc. Also I see from the help this is system dependent, I see this on Linux (ubuntu 9,04 - Pd 0.41.4-extended-rc1)
Thanks, Lorenzo
