    Hi, maybe there's a way to do this, but I haven't been able to figure it out. Constructing a Robot class to hold a key down doesn't work for me, and using the Keyboard.type() method just isn't the same as pressing and holding a key down (for fast menu selection). Would it be possible to get this method in the API?

    Oops I forgot to mention that part... that method is broken (unless I'm doing something wrong).

    For example:

    Keyboard.holdKey('c', () -> false, 3000);

    Should hold c for 3 seconds, but it only enters c once, but doesn't hold it down. Not sure why... maybe I should make this a bug post instead.

    I don't believe the method is supposed to "spam" the character, it just sets it as pressed until it timeouts or the condition is met

    What exactly are you talking about in "fast menu selection"?

    It doesn't hold it down though. Imagine when you hold down a key on your keyboard... it starts repeating the character. Holding down "A" for 5 seconds would look something like "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA." Welp, it doesn't. Either way, the condition is not working correctly. Even if you do:

    Keyboard.holdSpace(() -> false, 5000);

    This has a condition which returns false, yet this method instantly returns after executing once. It *does* type the key (for example here, space) once, but no more than once. E.g.:

    log("1");
    Keyboard.holdSpace(() -> false, 5000);
    log("2");

     

    Output:

    • 12:37:03 PM: [SCRIPT] 1
    • 12:37:03 PM: [SCRIPT] 2

    Notice how the script doesn't wait 5 seconds... it moves to the second logger within the same timestamp second.

    Like I said, I don't think these methods are to be used for typing, you can use Keyboard.type() for that

    You can try for instance Keyboard.holdshift() to drop items for example and it works fine
