Hello

I just wanted to share a little extention I made  
Here’s the link: [https://github.com/CuteMrMerp/button\_held](https://github.com/CuteMrMerp/button_held)

This extention adds a block called `check if [button] is held for [ms]`  
Put it in an if block and it will check if the button is held

I thought I would make it because microbit needs a button held event (especially because there are only 2 buttons)

Nice work!

For what it’s worth, in the last few days I made a similar extension for similar problems. It detects single clicks, double clicks, and long presses: [https://github.com/bsiever/microbit-pxt-clicks](https://github.com/bsiever/microbit-pxt-clicks) .

Here’s an example project for testing: [https://makecode.microbit.org/\_F8g00a5rPbMh](https://makecode.microbit.org/_F8g00a5rPbMh)
