Quick Piece of Code Advice - Toggling keyboard commands

[Rory Maguire]

Hello there!

I'm just finishing up a code for a piece of hardware I'm currently building and I've come across a situation I'd like to be able to implement, and I imagine it's a fairly simple piece of code away for working!

Essentially, I've got a push button which when pressed outputs a "[" keypress using keyboard.Write.

What I would like is for the button to toggle between outputting first a "[" then a "]".

The idea is this button is to Pause a piece of software, and then to use the same button to resume.

Is this at all possible? And what would the code I'm missing look like?

Thanks!

if you had included your code snippet for detecting the button press and sending the '[' character I could have modified it to show you using the specific stuff you are using but...

volatile uint8_t toggler=1;

setup() { // do your set up bits }

loop() {
  if(button_detected) {
    toggler=1-toggler;
    if(toggler) send("]"); else send("[");
  }
}

Is one way it can be done.
