Keypress stuff

[onetribegamingcodes]

Just a random question i had, is there a way that you can hold any keypress when the midi note is on and have it release when its off??

We have "press and hold" and "release" actions already for the modifier keys. If you want non-modifier keys though, you'd need to make your own "press" and "release" Lua Snippets. For the "a" key for example:

Press:

hs.eventtap.event.newKeyEvent("a", true):post()

Release:

hs.eventtap.event.newKeyEvent("a", false):post()

See: http://www.hammerspoon.org/docs/hs.eventtap.event.html#newKeyEvent
