Just add the rest of the keys already

YAYAICT

There is a way

forever
if <key (join [put a key here] []) pressed?> then
set [block] to [any block you want]
end
end

example:

forever
if <key (join [enter] []) pressed?> then
set [something] to [1]
end
end

some keys don't work tho

when green flag clicked

forever
if (join [put any key here] [put nothing here]) then
say [put any block here!]
end
end

That doesn't work with all of the keys.
Also, back when this original post was made, you couldn't put reporters or boolean blocks in the key pressed dropdown without hacked blocks.

I think it can be worked around using

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

Back when this suggestion was made, there was a trick you could do with hacked blocks with that block allowing for more keys.

If you want to use any other keys, use this base: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/12562667/ It even includes capitals and shift for other symbols! However, I dunno why the Scratch Team didn't add those to the block in the first place.

Maybe they were too hesitant about the rise of confusion and stress this might put on new users, but I don't know for sure.

Though the method used there broke in Scratch 3.0, even if the project wasn't taken down/unshared.

Ah, makes sense. These are very useful, but ST shouldn't remove these since they make share project ID tokens for each project like TurboWarp does.

exactly. why cant we have this?

<key [f5 v] pressed?>

or this?!?!

<key [ v] held for () seconds::sensing>

oh no..

when green flag clicked
say [press alt+f4 to continue] for (2) secs
forever
if <<key [alt v] pressed?> and <key [f4 v] pressed?>> then
say [i tricked you.] for (2) secs
end
end

for this reason, 75% support.
but!

when green flag clicked
if <key [shift v] pressed?> then 
say [Please turn off capslock or don't use uppercase for this, Gracias!] for (2) secs
else
ask [What is 5+78?] and wait
...
end

Support! If someone (me) were to make a game that was an iPad/phone and has custom typing this would be helpful.
Edit: Also add . , ? ! @ # $ % ^ & * etc

Does not work with some of the keys in vanilla 3.0

The workaround doesn't work for stuff like Ctrl and Alt
