More if key pressed blocks!

King_Kat_Games

it would be very helpful if you guys could add more keys to the “if key pressed” blocks. You could add things like:
shift
tab
F1, F2, ect.
command
option (for Mac)
control
esc
(symbols) !, @, #, ect
Edit: Right click

The symbols are easily workaroundable as of 3.0, but support for the others

How do you workaround for them?

<key [(join [@] []) v] pressed?>

Here's the fix:

<key (join [#] []) pressed?>

Replace the # with @, !, or any of these:

! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) < > ? : " { } | _ + - = \ ; ‘ , . /

(I haven’t tested all of these, but I'm assuming they work.)

I support! I used to use a “hacked” block in my Warriors games to allow the player to run if CTRL and the left arrow key, right arrow key, A key, or D key were pressed. I liked it because the CTRL keys are placed close by the WASD keys and the arrow keys, and you can use them to run no matter which set of keys you were using. However, with the coming of Scratch 3.0, “hacked” blocks stopped working. I would like for this to be added!

I believe this is a duplicate.

Support for adding keys such as ! @ # etc., but no support for adding keys such as F1, F2, ctrl (or cmd), and things like alt and function. These keys often serve purposes that are needed to for example copy things, paste things, delete things, do other functions that you don't want to have an effect on the project you're playing (e.g. “ctrl” and the "Fnumber“ keys). For example, let's say that you wanted to copy and paste something. Without a doubt, you'll have to use the ”Ctrl“ (or ”Cmd“) key. Or let's say that you want to turn down the volume and have to press ”F2“ or ”F3". If pressing one of those keys triggers something in the project, you don't want that action to be triggered when pressing that specific key. I thus don't think it should be implemented, as it could end up with unwanted things.

I tested them, and they all seem to work. If the character is one that you would normally access by pressing shift, hold shift and press the key

I completely agree. I use Alt+Tab to change windows and screens, and if the Alt key activated something in my project, that would make things VERY hard for me.

I don’t know if Scratch could access the F1, F2 (etc) buttons. But otherwise, this is a good idea.

Support, it is pretty obvious why.

Support, but I think there should be a notice when you start a project that binds keys such as command, option, control and esc that is something like “This project binds powerfull keys, would you still like to allow this?” and a yes no button

StrangeMagic32

No support for Alt, too much potential for griefing
eg.
Alt + F4
Ctrl + Alt + Del
Seems alt was removed, so support, would be nice
