Hi,

Is there any method to receive a "bang" ONLY when I start or finishes pressing a key on the keyboard? (and not in-between)

In attach, the patch for better understanding.

Thanks.

Carlos Caires

i use os x, and have set my system preferences so that the keyboard repeat rate is set to 'never'.

i asked this question a while ago, and some people sent patches that used [timer] to limit 're-bangs'. but there always seemed to be stray bangs that sneaked through.

if anyone knows a real answer to this question, i am also very keen to hear it.

thanks

another possibility: use "onebang" to filter out repeat keyvalues

try this:

#N canvas 0 0 454 304 10; #X obj 93 54 key; #X obj 162 53 keyup; #X obj 93 81 sel 113; #X obj 93 147 onebang; #X obj 162 80 sel 113; #X msg 93 174 on; #X msg 162 178 off; #X obj 110 114 loadbang; #X text 36 80 press q; #X obj 93 211 print; #X connect 0 0 2 0; #X connect 1 0 4 0; #X connect 2 0 3 0; #X connect 3 0 5 0; #X connect 4 0 3 1; #X connect 4 0 6 0; #X connect 5 0 9 0; #X connect 6 0 9 0; #X connect 7 0 3 1;

ciao

Thanks a lot, I put the "keyboard repeat rate" to 0, and it seems to work for now. Thanks again, Carlos

I forgot to mention, you'll have to change the outlets in my patch to whatever you are using, [print] or whatever. I didn't want to set them all to print, or it would start the messages as soon as you opened it.

Try these setups.

I've had to deal with this a few times. I work on Windows XP at home, and OSX at school, and I can't change the options on the school's computers. I had to use the [operating_system] object to tell my program which keystroke-reading function to use. My problem had to do with wanting to use Control-keystrokes, so it had to only output a bang when both keys were pressed. I think your dilemma is simpler.

One thing I noticed- I don't remember which operating system it was- was that sometimes a key-press and key-up on the same key returned different names with [keyname]. Also, one of the shift or alt keys said R when it meant L or vice versa. So you might run into a few bugs with stuff like that.

Thanks -

Chris, I will try compiling it, see what that brings... :) AE. On 21 May 2006, at 17:40, chris clepper wrote:

Just about any GEM binary for OSX you could locate will work on a
G5 running 10.4. If you want to compile it yourself the most
important flag is -faltivec.
