Maybe you could overload str_cursor with a function that takes an additional var argument and sets the cursor to that position in a future version? Originally Posted By: jcl Yes, inkey and inchar switches off all other key functions - that is mentioned in the manual. Only after inkey/inchar ended you can again use the normal key events and variables. I was aware of this. My point was that the state of the keys is even unavailable one frame after inkey has terminated. Maybe that is a good addendum for the manual. Always learn from history, to be sure you make the same mistakes again...

You could do that by yourself for now: Php Code: void str_cursor(STRING* str, long newpos) { char* pCursorPos = (char*)&newpos; str->pad[4] = pCursorPos[0]; str->pad[5] = pCursorPos[1]; str->pad[6] = pCursorPos[2]; str->pad[7] = pCursorPos[3]; } Last edited by krial057; 10/11/12 22:34.

Your workaround looks nice as well. Maybe I'll switch. I was just asking for an officially supported version as manually overriding an engine struct seems a bit dirty to me and I guess the implementation work for JCL would only be marginal. Always learn from history, to be sure you make the same mistakes again...
