KeyDown and RawKeyDown

Post by trevix » Sat Jan 25, 2025 12:46 pm

Hello.
Doing some tests with a BT keyboard and iOS/Android devices, I found the following:

The dictionary states that the messages "KeyDown" and "RawKeyDown" works on "mac, windows, linux, ios, android".
This is not true for Android 14 hardware.

The dictionary also states that the two messages are sent "to the active (focused) control, or to the current card if no control is focused.
This is not true for iOS hardware (the KeyDown script on the card does not run if no control is focused).

Is there something I don't understand or it is yet another Livecode issue that has never been fixed?

I had forgotten my old own post on the quality center!! (bug https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23783)
This confirmed bug is almost 3 years old.

Posting and reposting a serious (in my opinion) bug as such, doesn't seem to get any results.
I just shelled out another 600€ to renew my Livecode license and It seems to me that we faithful developers have been truly abandoned.
sigh...
