Wow! That was unexpected. I tried the simpler example below in notepad. If
KeyPressedEvent function is not the place to trap a key and prevent it from
being passed to an application, where can this be accomplished? That would
possibly explain why I had timing issues with the delete/backspace portion
in the original example.
Void Function KeyPressedEvent (Int iKeyCode, String sKeyMapName, Int
iBraille, Int iAttachedToScript)
SayString ("char pressed = " + sKeyMapName)
If sKeyMapName == "LeftControl+s"
|| sKeyMapName == "RightControl+s" Then
SayString ("pressed desired key Control+s! Should not pass to application
and to bring up Save As dialog.")
Return
EndIf
; process all other keys
KeyPressedEvent (iKeyCode, sKeyMapName, iBraille, iAttachedToScript)
EndFunction
