Just add the rest of the keys already
How can using hacked blocks make this work? The options already there were functioned for these keys, doing this: You can do this hacking blocks,but support.
It would be nice to use this:<key [alt v] pressed?>and using Maiusc is useful in text engines.<key (join [@][]) pressed?>
will not work unless the “@” button is functioned into that block. Simply changing the input won't make it work.
i tried<key (join [,] []) pressed?>and it doesn't work
you need some speical characters to do that. i dont know the codes though

I don't think the HTML switch will change anything about key detection. I think - although I am not sure - that both HTML/JS and Flash can detect more keys than Scratch allows for, in which case the developers of Scratch will have another reason for limiting the choice of keys available. There are Flash games that can detect punctuation keys, for example.
If you really want to check this, the Scratch 3.0 GUI is available for testing online: https://llk.github.io/scratch-gui/

That means I support for those keys. And if you're talking about the 50/100 zipline thing, it's my signature, it appears under everything I say.Not related to the topic. I think I will need Backspace, Enter, Delete, End, Insert, Tab, Caps, Shift, Ctrl/Cmd, and Alt.

I would never need insert, home, or end.
Just backspace, Ctrl/Command, Alt/Option, and Shift.

Support for all keys because I need the Ctrl + shift + r.

Support. I can't agree more, I HATE using space to sprint instead of shift!

Support for keys such as &, !, :, etc. but not for keys such as F1, F2, shift, etc. I explained my reasoning here.

here.Do you mean add them to the drop down? Keys like &, !, : can already be accused by putting a variable into the key pressed block. Support for keys such as &, !, :, etc. but not for keys such as F1, F2, shift, etc. I explained my reasoning
The special keys could be implemented like they were before when they were mostly all detected as the same key. The only unique ones were tab, backspace, and enter. Keys like ctrl alt shift f1 were all detected with the same key code. That way projects can't require you to press f1.

Partial support, as ctrl, alt, caps lock, and the “F” keys (F1, F2, F3, etc.) would conflict with built in shortcuts and functions. Everything else should be fair game, though.
