Greetings, First, I’d like to thank James for updating the link over at [ruby-lang.org](http://ruby-lang.org). As Mentioned before [TryRuby.org](http://TryRuby.org) is the new home of Try Ruby. [TryRruby.sophrinix.com](http://TryRruby.sophrinix.com) should resolve sometime soon by the middle of next week. The old link will simply be a redirect to [TryRuby.org](http://TryRuby.org) Now for the exciting news. All the lessons (including the ones using the File System) should now work. I would like to thank nanothief over at github for forking FakeFS and getting it to work with TryRuby! The new and improved Try Ruby is now on an EC2 instance rather than an old dedicated server with unimpressive pipes. For those interested, I am running Try Ruby on version ruby 1.9.1p376 (2009-12-07 revision 26041) [i686-linux] With all this said, this opens the door for additional lessons. I will keep future plans and speculations limited to the ticket tracker and wiki over at the github repo for Try Ruby! Enjoy! Respectfully, Andrew McElroy ---

It looks nice. Has anyone tried using TryRuby with the Opera browser? I ask, because that’s what I mostly use, and using Opera I couldn’t edit my input: BackSpace didn’t work at all, and the arrow keys gave strange results. Editing using BackSpace and the arrow keys seems fine using Firefox and Internet Explorer 8. Maybe it might be worth saying on the TryRuby page that it has been tested and works (or should work, depending on how confident you are) with Firefox and Internet Explorer, etc, but that there are “issues” with Opera (etc?). ---

Please open a ticket on github [GitHub - Sophrinix/TryRuby: Try Ruby is a interactive shell that quickly and whimsically teaches the Ruby programming language. Originally \_why's idea, it has been recreated from the ground up by Rubyists who have a passion for Ruby and for teaching their fellow (wo)man how to program.](http://github.com/Sophrinix/TryRuby), I need to know what keypress\_test,html says. From there I can create a conditional in the keyboard event method and support it. Thanks. Andrew McElroy ---

I am looking for Keycodes. For instance on a mac with firefox, when I press the up arrow key I get: Keycode: 38 The other data section is nice, but its the keycodes that I am after. I hope that helps. Andrew McElroy ---

I’m in Chrome Beta on Linux. Arrow keys work fine, but backspace seems to be interpreted as a delete.
