I’ve posted earlier on issues with the character and keycode not being set in the same event (under windows.)
I now have a more specific issue. Lets say I have my own custom text input field. If I press and hold the A key for example, there will be multiple events fired with the ‘a’ in the character field. This allows me to type a sequence of a’s in the input field.
The problem I have is that the Backspace key doesn’t work in the same way. There won’t be any repeated events fired with a character field set. I’ll only get a KeyDown and KeyUp event for the Backspace key. For the Backspace key it is however more important to be able to have repeated input than for the A key.
This would mean I’d have to create this behaviour myself using a time out and repeat rate. I don’t really prefer this, since it’s actually an OS setting.
