[SOLVED]Not possible to detect ctrl/shift + scroll in JSFX/Reascript GUIs?

[FeedTheCat]

Was surprised that gfx.mouse_cap doesn't set bits 4, 8 etc when gfx.mouse_wheel changes. Now that I think of it though, it sort of makes sense.

But still, is there no way to detect if a keyboard modifier was pressed during mouse scrolls? Ctrl+scroll seems like a very essential GUI thing for fine-tuning changes on sliders/knobs etc.

Is there a gfx.getchar equivalent? Maybe this needs to be called for some of the states, like in ReaScript...

Interesting, I'll look into that. Can you see if ctrl/shift is pressed with gfx.getchar?

No, it's rather, this "unlocks" missing states in mouse_cap.

Hmmm, yeah. Just tried it. Works for key presses, but I wouldn't know how to use it to detect if ctrl/shift is pressed during mouse-scrolling though.

mouse_cap still doesn't return the ctrl/shift when calling getchar?

Yes it does! Thank you!

So I after detecting a change in gfx.mouse_wheel I can call gfx.getchar() and look up the ctrl modifier in gfx.mouse_cap

There's an issue though. Seems like this only works after reaper has set gfx.mouse_cap at least once (e.g. by clicking into the lua script window once). So when I open the script window without clicking anywhere, I can't detect the ctrl+scroll like this.

Maybe there's a way to trigger this click programmatically? I think JS API can trigger mouse clicks, but I'd much prefer a native solution.

nvm, my bad. Was calling reaper.SetCursorContext(0) after gfx.init

Works great! Marking this as solved.

Nice
