Just add the rest of the keys already

Esc can't be used because it is a shortcut to exit fullscreen.

but other keys would be so useful.

But what about things like !@£$%^&*()

Those work, they just aren't in the drop down menu. You can put a block in it instead and it works correctly.

<key (join [] [@]) pressed?> // This works

The following keys work with the

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

hack:

a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ - ~ ` : ; " ' < , > . ? / + =

don't forget that all the other keys anyone can type on a keyboard also works. It's not worth making a list for them all.

Does not work for all keys (e.g. shift, backspace, ctrl, etc.)
He was telling you another method

I know, but it doesn't work. I was saying it doesn't work.

Workaround:

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

NOTE:
For alphanumerical keys, you just insert the ASCII or Unicode format for it, like this:

<key (join [.] []) pressed?>
<Not <key (join [period] []) pressed?>. :: operators

For non-alphanumeric keys, you put in the name of the key, like:

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

What about ctrl? It doesn't work in that last thing you put.

Support.
Please comment on my profile instead - I don't follow this discussion!
There is a MAJOR con, though. This cannot be fixed. The value of the

<key [ v] pressed?>

block is affected by the HTML events called onkeydown and onkeyup. The

when [ v] key pressed

block is triggered by the HTML event called onkeypress. However, according to a W3Schools article, the onkeypress event is not triggered for all keys, while the onkeydown and onkeyup events are.

Inspired by coder2045—which, in turn, got inspired by Mr_PenguinAlex.
What's wrong with these blocks? There are zero mistakes because no round has started yet. Beware that some of the mistakes don't relate to the Scratch blocks below.

What keys specifically do you need? If it's just enter, you can use the “hacked” block
<key (join [enter] []) pressed?>
in the
if <> then

end

wait until <>

repeat until <>

end
blocks.
Shift, Alt, Ctrl etc

Especially backspace.

Support. It would be very useful.

You know you could always just use

(join [Whatever] [This is blank])

This account is now unused. Please see @BlooXen and @GlowingK.

That only works for numbers, letters, symbols like “@#$,” and the Enter key… it doesn't work for Shift, Control, or Backspace.

If you want full game controls, you need:
F keys
shift
enter
most other keys
Function keys are probably not a good idea, as most are usually bound to something, and, if someone is inexpirienced with a computer, they might mess up settings while trying to play a game.

My computer for instance, requires me to press ctrl when using the function keys to keep them from messing with my brightness/volume/screen settings. The only key that isn't bound to something is f5.

If someone didn't know this they might blame scratch for making their screen dim, or causing a video they were playing in the background to go full blast. OR they might accidentally be pressing another key when using them, which can cause it to go bad quickly, with alt+f4, etc.

Alt-F-huh? What does that do?

not that active anymore

Seriously. Period. I'm not that active anymore. I've recently realised that Scratch, while good for basic programing, is just not that versatile for making games. So, I've moved on to engines like Roblox and Stencyl, which are entirely different from scratch. Farewell.

AmazingMech2418

This can be done quite easily now using the join block in the key pressed block (cannot be used in the key event hat block). Though, it would be more convenient to include the other keys in the dropdown as well. I've already submitted a pull request to add more keys and it was closed for an unknown reason.

I'm a programmer, ethical hacker, and space nerd!
