I am making a keyboard project where if you click a key, it will light up on the project: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/838004515/

However, if you click buttons like A, it will also light up alt and shift. T does this with tab and shift. When I tried the following code:

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

where the alt is in a variable called “#”. If I click the A key, it will say true for the code above. Please help. All key detection is on the custom block:

define Tick <keyPressed>

It is because buttons like ALT, Ctrl, and Shift do not work on their own in Scratch. The F-Numbers at the top also do not work.
Shift however will only work to give you capital letters, or the symbols above the numbers on your keyboard.

Aw, that sucks. Thanks for the help

Yea it is a shame. A lot of wasted potential for such buttons. But as I understand it, Scratch was made to be a very simple programming language for all ages. Adding more keys would just add to the complexity.

it doesn't work and it makes a dumb beep noise

I thought alt doesn't work on Scratch.
