keypres inbetween time control

[venkat330]

i dunno where to ask thats why raised this as an issue sorry..below is the seq i am planning to use

keypress.sequence_combo("backspace backspace", function() { // lives = 120; alert("You've pressed this bkspc."); }, true);

the issue i am facing is..

when i press backspace very contionus for 2 times it works as expected but when i delay the press it does not work,,

is there a way where we can control this intermediate keypress control

There isn't right now, and you're right you should be able to control that. I'll update it as soon as I can.

Hey, I haven't updated the documentation yet, but I did push the implementation. There is now a global keypress.sequence_delay which is in milliseconds. The default is 800. This is how long Keypress will wait before deciding to stop considering sequential keypresses a sequence combo. You can set the delay to whatever you want, so if for instance you set it to 3000, your users would have 3 seconds between pressing the backspace key sequentially (without pressing any other keys in between) before it would give up and not consider them sequential. If you set keypress.sequence_delay to -1, it will give the user all the time they want (Keypress will always consider keys to be in sequence regardless of how long ago the last one was pressed).

I would be careful with the use of -1; it could very easily lead to a bad user experience. Users do not expect sequences to execute after a long delay.

In the future perhaps I can come up with a clever solution to allow for individual combos to set their sequence delays, but right now it would be extremely complex, so I'll just leave it as a global for now.

Please let me know if you run into any issues with the update!

Edit: Just in case it wasn't clear how to change the sequence delay, you would write in your code:

keypress.sequence_delay = 3000; // Or desired delay

Gonna leave this open until I update the documentation.
