Counting Back Space in Lacaille

The mod to show the number of backspace times probably now works properly. This is the display after typing the above sentence The display is updated when the settings screen is opened. Reset values by restarting the application. Maybe a reset button could be added.

Too many corrections.

I’ve added a reset button so you can see the measurement results only during the example practice. Release https://github.com/nishio/Lacaille/releases/tag/v2

In the meantime, I was able to modify the Lacaille source so that the backspace count is accumulated and debugged output, but where should I display it?

objc

bool isCtrlH = (
    CGEventGetIntegerValueField(event, kCGKeyboardEventKeycode) == 4 &&
    CGEventGetFlags(event) == 0x40101);
bool isBackSpace = (
    CGEventGetIntegerValueField(event, kCGKeyboardEventKeycode) == 51 &&
    CGEventGetFlags(event) == 0x100);

if (type != kCGEventKeyDown && (isCtrlH || isBackSpace)){
    backSpaceCount++;
    debugOut(@"[BackSpace] %d\n", backSpaceCount);
}

objc

static CGEventRef keyUpDownEventCallback(CGEventTapProxy proxy, CGEventType type, CGEventRef event, void *refcon)

objc

    debugOut(@"[EV] Keycode=%d, Flags=<%llx>, Type=%d, gTargetPid=%d\n",
             (CGKeyCode)CGEventGetIntegerValueField(event, kCGKeyboardEventKeycode),	(CGEventFlags)CGEventGetFlags(event), type, gTargetPid);

ctrl H

[EV] Keycode=4, Flags=<40101>, Type=10, gTargetPid=9953
[RetP] Type=10 Keycode=4

[EV] Keycode=51, Flags=<100>, Type=10, gTargetPid=9953
[RetP] Type=10 Keycode=51
