Is it possible to check if a key is hold down with os.pullEvent() ?
I want this to check for multiple button event at the same time.
I want to check for shift and the arrow keys.
I know that if I want to check for shift + a letter I could just check for capitalized characters.
But is there a smart way to do what I need/want?

Not posible due to SMP. what if one guy is holding down all the keys just to troll?

Then program would just register all keys as holding down. It does not really matter.

it would block userinput, so it does matter :P/>/>

It would be great if we could have a button released and pressed event.
if event == "button_pressed" then
elseif event == "botton_released" then
end
Like for example now if you hold down a button it just spams events.

What is the difference between troll holding keys or troll pressing random keys? It also blocks user input.

Oh yeah, multiple users would make it tricky.

They could just have the events return a table of all users using the computer currently, and the coder can make the script only detect key presses if it is done by the first person to open the terminal. There is still a very high chance of it not being added.
However, what you could, is see if the keys were pressed in sequence within x period of time. AfterLifeLochie has done this for one of his scripts I believe.

Hmm… Wait, I know a multiuser environment with computers supporting key_up and key_down events! It's called
real world. What is your problem, Cloudy? Are those events a paradox for you?

jajnick, you frequently have someone next to you typing on the same keyboard in the real world? That seems inconvenient.

But it still works.
Also it's not really frequent to have someone next to you typing on same PC in ComputerCraft either.

I'm sorry, but the answer is very important to me. I already have got many project ideas that won't realize without those events ._.

No idea why this was locked. Fixed!

Well, I had locked it because the original question had been answered and the topic had subsequently veered off topic. Seemed like there wasn't any reason to keep it open at that point. I must have been mistaken! :P/>/>

Ah, I would have kept it closed had you posted advising why it had been done - I didn't know who closed it due to IP Board's lacking logging facilities. Re-closed :P/>/>
