Hello everyone!

I want to suggest some new blocks

(Pressed key value)- Using this block, we can know which key was pressed. It can also be used in calculations. We can also know which letter key was pressed.

<any key pressed?>- We can know whether any key was pressed or not.

<any key except pressed?>- We can tell Scratch to which key it should not react.

(Convert ( ) to )- We can convert a number to string or vice versa. For eg. Number for A would be 1, B would be 2, and so on.

Please tell me which ones you support and which ones you don't.

nice ideas they would be useful in games. I mostly like the <any key> and <any keep apart from> blocks.

These new blocks would be very helpful. It is a great suggestion, I support it

What if more than one key is being pressed?

<any key pressed?>- We can know whether any key was pressed or not.

Sure, why not.

<any key except { v} pressed?>- We can tell Scratch to which key it should not react.

If the last block is implemented, you could just do <<any key pressed?> and <not <{ v} key pressed?>>>.

(Convert ( ) to )- We can convert a number to string or vice versa. For eg. Number for A would be 1, B would be 2, and so on.

I don't even see why this would be needed. It can pretty fairly be replicated with a couple lists. Plus, there are too many ways it can error.

then the value of the key pressed later would be taken(you can't press two keys at exactly the same time.

<any key pressed?>- We can know whether any key was pressed or not.

Sure, why not.

Thanks for your support.

Yeah, I forgot about it.

Wouldn't that be quite a lot of work?

Thanks everyone for your support!

Well you only need 26 items if you're only going to do letters. There are so many other characters, and if you want to use them in this block, too, wouldn't that be “quite a lot of work” for the Scratch Team?
