Hola Mike,
In fact, Greg wanted a method to make something like 'hello world'
and not 'helloSpaceworld' working in purePd style (I use the purePd
[list-l2s] abs from 'list-abs' that i forget to join). So i just make
a small patch to transform the 'Space' to ' ' (from [keyname]) in a
sentence working with Pd vanilla.
For the other key like 'Shift_L' or 'Tab', etc. it's possible to add
them in a [sel] object to make them inactive.
Or if you work with Pd-entended the [entry] object seems very nice ;)
I attach this last patch with abstractions (Pure Pd patch, working
with Pd Vanilla) with new keys.

Jack,
I tested out your patch, textB.pd, and whenever I hit the 'shift'
key, it put "Shift_L" into the list of atoms. I am certain there
are other keys that don't correspond exactly from how [keyname]
represents them, and how us Humans might want to see them in text.Other keys that do this are "Tab", "Caps_Lock", "BackSpace" (for
the delete key), "Left" (left arrow, etc. for the other arrow
keys). The Help, Home, End, PageUp, and PageDown keys also insert
other text into the list.Mike

[makefilename %c] (more simple). ++Jack

[keyname] changed to be more cross-platform, and more key commands
were added. Also, "Space" is used as the key symbol since Tcl uses
"Space" to represent a space; " " wasn't working on all platforms
IIRC ; and, it is much easier to deal with "Space" than " " in Pd.You could make a patch something like this to get a " ":
[keyname] | [select Space] | [32( | [makefilename %c]

i make three patches : one to send text mith a message box via OSC : send.pd one to receive text in a message box via OSC : receive.pd one to create a text with keyboard (to write), space (for a space)
and return (to send) : text.pd Hope it is what you are looking for. ++Jack <Archive.zip>

Sure,
I'm working on constructing strings, to allow chat over OSC. So, I
want to be able to use " " as a space, instead of getting results
like "helloSpaceworld".I've written an external that will do it, but I want to see if
there's a pd-vanilla way to do it.Thanks for the reply!

Hi all,
First, pd-extended 0.40.3 is all-around great. Seems like lots of
hard work went into it. So thanks to the people who worked on that.Second, has the vanilla keyname object changed? Specifically, does
it now output "Space" instead of " " when the spacebar is used? Is
there a work-around to get the " " back?Thanks,
- Greg
