Allow the user to choose certain characters from being recognized by messbox

Open theslyprofessor opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

I can imagine the mess box as being a terminal of sorts, in which the user never has to leave it. This is really useful for creating a game in PD, for example.

In order for this to work, I think it is important that the user be allowed to chose certain characters from being exempted from recognition by the mess box.

For example, the user might want to use the number "1" to interact with a key object without printing the number 1 into the mess box.

Another example: Pressing "Enter" creates a carriage return within the mess box. It may be the case that the user wants to use a key object to trigger the "Enter" key to bang the mess box without creating a carriage return within the mess box.

Thanks, Nakul

just saying that now hitting enter outputs the message!

I'll consider filtering other characters though
