ViewKeyRepeatScript

view:ViewKeyRepeatScript(char, flags)

char

The character that was entered on the keyboard. Note that if a modifier key is the only key pressed (for example, the Shift key), this value will be 0.

flags

A 30-bit integer that specifies which modifier keys were pressed and other additional information. The use of the individual bits in this value are shown in Table 4-14.

return value

Your implementation must return nil if you want the system to continue processing the keystroke.
