Using is_key properly in a loop?

Hello, I have a question about using is_key in conjunction with a loop, I'll show an example

Code: [Select]
:loopfull
if is_key "left" then set_focus a and sleep 500
if is_key "right" then set_focus b and sleep 500
if is_key "set" then shoot_full
if is_key "down" then end
goto "loopfull"
When I press set to shoot, every time the loop repeats, it takes a shot, even long after I have let go of the button. Is there a solution/workaround available? Thanks!

If you use is_key, you should use wait_click at the start of your loop, see https://chdk.fandom.com/wiki/CHDK_scripting#is_key
is_key returns whether the key was clicked, and that state isn't reset until you call wait_click again.

You can use is_pressed to determine if a key is currently pressed (without needing wait_click), but wait_click + is_key probably makes more sense for your script.
