  Increase/Decrease Value with Keys

  Posted by Tudor Baican on February 9, 2023 at 9:59 pm

  Hello Friends,

  i have in my Ui some editText-field to input some values.

  I would like to increase / decrease the value with the up and down key.

  So far so good, it actually works but the value in the field gets increase by the double value.

  What’s wrong? Thanks for your help!

  myTextfield.addEventListener('keydown', keyFunc); 
  
  function keyFunc(){
  var myKeyState = ScriptUI.environment.keyboardState;
  if(myKeyState.keyName=="Up"){
  this.text = parseInt(this.text)+1;
  
  };

  Key up and key down functions can be notorious difficult to capture once, quite often they’ll record double presses. If it is consistently doubling, maybe the simplest approach is to add 0.5 each time instead of 1.

  Hmmm ok, Strange behavior 🙃

  Sure, to add 0.5 works, I was thinking I forget something.

  Thanks. 👍
