I
The reason for this is because I am trying to make a script that will hide passwords as they are being typed by the user. Currently the only way I can do this is to have a timer and an alias check the contents of the edit box and change the characters typed. It would reduce the code by more than half and greatly improve the performance of this script if I can do this with an event.
this is probably off-topic but couldn't you use the following to mask your password? $$?* masks input text, eg
alias logon .msg
nickop@austnet.org identify $$?*
(you would obviously change the command to suit the channel service of your particular network)
BTW, I agree the on Keyup/keydown would be a nice addition
