I was playing around in zonker's little text entering demo and in the demo he has released, if you backspace it deletes the whole line of text. I doubt this was his intention so I decided to see if I could fix it. I did, but only to find out that backspace acts weird in verge.

basicly:
===================================

switch(lastpressed){
case SCAN_BACKSP: s=left(s, (len(s)-1));
case SCAN_CTRL: s=left(s, (len(s)-1));
}

key[lastpressed]=0;
lastpressed=0;

===================================
and the result is you can press backspace once and, untill you press another key, you cant do another backspace. ctrl on the otherhand works fine.

Seems to work fine for me. Look at [input.vc in] Sullied Chronicles (shameless plug:) if you'd like, but my switch, although larger looks much like that.

{


[snip]


switch(lastpressed)


  {


  [snip]


  case SCAN_BACKSP:


    if(len(char_buffer)) char_buffer = Left(char_buffer, len(char_buffer) - 1);


    input_lbuffer = "";


  [snip]


  }


last_lastpressed = lastpressed;


lastpressed = 0;


next_repeat = timer + INITIAL_DELAY;


if(len(char_buffer) < 256) char_buffer = char_buffer + input_lbuffer;


}
