Computer keyboard input

This is a reasonable request. You'll need to roll your own widget from a Panel then, because the other widgets have already some hardcoded modifiers (eg. dragging sliders with Ctrl enables fine tune mode)

[d.healey]

I think I'm getting the hang of the panel now so that shouldn't be an issue

[Christoph Hart]

Alright, I added the modifier keys:

event.isShiftDown
event.isAltDown
event.isCmdDown
event.itCtrlDown

BTW, if you call setValue() with a Panel, the controlCallback isn't executed automatically (to prevent recursive loops). You need to call Panel.changed() to execute the control callback.

That was quick! just trying out the new build now.

Hi guys,

I'm trying to make it work but it still doens't work using a panel.

Here's a snippet:

Any ideas?
Thanks again for the help!

@d-healey

Thanks a lot, It works!

[Simon]

I'll bring this topic back from the grave and ask the compliment of David's question. Is it possible to get normal keypresses? Specifically, letters A-Z, maybe characters too.

[d.healey]

[Simon]

@d-healey As usual I found it right after asking. Thanks David!

[Simon]

To implement keyboard playing like you find in DAWs, might there be a way to get the current keyboard layout as well? I'll specify that I want to use the (PC) keyboard to set the current chord in a plugin, not play a MIDI note directly.

Not that I'm aware of, but you could setup some predefined ones and let the user pick.
