eventCommandKey

Type

function

Summary

Returns the state of the Command key.

Syntax

the eventCommandKey

eventCommandKey()

Description

Use the eventCommandKey function to check whether the Command key was pressed at the time the current event was dispatched.

If you want to check the state of the Command key at the current time, rather than when the event was dispatched, use the commandKey function.

On Unix and Windows systems, the eventCommandKey function returns the same value as the eventControlKey function: the two functions are synonyms.

*Warning

*: the value of this function is undefined after performing a wait operation; it may no longer be the same as the value when the event was dispatched.

Examples

put the eventCommandKey into keyState

if the eventCommandKey is down then exit rawKeyDown
