hola,
latest alphas contain a new Typewriter (String) (in the addonpack) that was based on @bo27))'s version as posted here: ((forum:typewriter
please give it a testrun and report problems you find.
note that you can use cursor-keys to navigate in the typed text. also ctrl+left and ctrl+right work as expected…
When in the help patch, I Have quickly seen these issues:
I often write the same letter twice when using capital letters. eg. Wworld
I sometimes get special characters shown by a little rectangle in the text, like the character does not exist. this seem to happen mostly when I delete using back space.
I am on a danish keyboard
-sunep
ai sune, i can confirm the “Wworld” problem…working on that…
also i have seen the other problem you mention with symbols appearing when pressing backspace, but i cannot reproduce it. please let me know if you have a way to do so…
“Wworld” problem fixed in latest alpha.
Cool, I will try to see if I can reproduce the strange character problem so it can be repeated
Some more observations:
sometimes I need to use backspace twice to get it to delete.
the autorepeat keystroke function is quite aggressive, I feel I don’t need to hold down a key for very long before it activates and then it repeats itself incredibly fast.
it seems like the cursor is one space after the last letter.
almost consistently generate a strange character:
you need to be really fast to do this. press two letter keys and back space in really rapid succession.
really rapid succession means almost all in the same frame I think
aight, new version is up with fixed:
not sure what you mean with “it seems like the cursor is one space after the last letter.” and concerning “…then it repeats itself incredibly fast.”: that is once per frame…could be throttled, but i’ll leave as is for now.
thanks for testing. still accepting more error reports…
