Commodore Key on Touch Bar Not Working #693

Closed jcassara closed 2 years ago

jcassara commented 2 years ago

Holding down the Commodore Key on the Touch Bar and depressing another key does not yield expected behavior. Text color does not change with a digit. Additional graphics characters do not appear with other keys. Commodore Key mapped to physical keyboard keys does function.

Running VirtualC64 4.4. on MacBook Pro M1 with macOS 11.5.12.

This is a fundamental issue with the Touch Bar. When the user presses a key on the Touch Bar, macOS triggers an event, but there is no event when the key is released. Hence, there is no way to find out that the user keeps pressing a key.

Anyway, if rumours are true, Apple is going to remove the Touch Bar in future MacBooks. If this turns out to be true, I'll remove Touch Bar support, too.

TouchBar support has been removed (following Apples decision to discontinue this technology).
