In windows 7, this hat block use the keyboard delay configured in keyboard settings.
delay before repetition setting
repetition frequency setting
When i press a key, a delay (delay before repetition setting) occurs before the block run. When it start, it repeat on the frequency setting
i don't have this problem with this block.
it's supposed to happen, and if you don't want the delay, use
[scratchblocks]
when <key [space v] pressed>::control hat
...
[/scratchblocks]
edit: I just realized that you're suggesting to use the delay that is set in the keyboard settings. Well in that case, idk what to do.
won't the wait [0] seconds block work?
I don't want the delay... i just realized this block use these settings... Who want use this block with this settings? If you want a delay or a frequency in your program add it... A new programmer will use this block by default because the block say When () key is pressed. A new programmer won't use the when block...
actually, sometimes it's better to use the when [key] pressed block. I usually use it when I don't want something to run while I'm pressing the key.
Someone making a text engine, maybe?
When I press a key, the first firing of the hat block happens immediately. The second firing happens after a delay.
This is standard key-repeat behavior. They do it that way because you might keep your finger on the key a semi-long time without meaning to repeat it. They wait long enough to be sure you really intend a repetition.
May be not happens immediately in windows 7? (Are you on a Mac?) Anyway, there is another solution...
Thank's
Yes. But I'm surprised if it's different on Windows. When you're in an editor and press a key, doesn't the letter or whatever appear instantly? And then a while later if you keep the key pressed it starts adding more copies of the letter.
Sorry Brian, i've made an error... you're right! When i press "A", it immediately write an A, make a pause (delay before repetition) and repeat since i release "A" (inter-character delay of repetition frequency).
