$keyrpt is filled during an on keydown, or an on keyup event inside of a custom @window, it returns $true if the key is held down, $false otherwise..

Synopsis[edit]

$keyrpt

Parameters[edit]

None

Example[edit]

Create an alias that launches a custom, picture window which listens for key presses and displays the key value pressed, the key character pressed, and if it is repeating:

alias keyDownTest {
  window -p $+ $iif($window(@myWindow),ra) @myWindow 550 300 250 105
}
ON *:KEYDOWN:@myWindow:*: {
  clear @myWindow
  drawtext @myWindow 1 3 3 Key value: $iif($keyval,$v1,NA)
  drawtext @myWindow 1 3 25 Key character: $iif($keychar,$v1,NA)
  drawtext @myWindow 1 3 47 @myWindow Repeating: $keyrpt
}

The following command can now be typed into any mIRC command prompt:

/keyDownTest

Below is an image reflecting what this example will look like:

Note that this makes use of a picture window, as well as the /drawtext command. These types of windows and their tools can be very powerful in creating some amazing graphical layouts, as well as mIRC games.
