Keys?
Date:  23. November 2010, 19:29

Thinking about making a type tool.

Is there a way to disable the keyboard shortcuts during running a script? I want to be able to get full use of the keys, or at least A-Z (both lower and upper cases) without "tripping" the shortcuts of Illustrator.

I'd rather be avoiding the TextItem.
Possible?

Hi Håkan,

In fact, there is a way to do this. Simply return true from the onKeyDown handler, and the event will not be passed further to the system:

function onKeyDown(event) {
	return true;
}

In order to remove the handler again, you have to currently hit the stop button in the Scriptographer palette.

Does this help?

Yes, that seems to do the trick.

Thank you very much!
