- Hi Andre,
-
- Could you post a modified version of your proposal that shows
- what has been (more or less) decided. I think it would clear up
- some of the confusion that I (and others) might be feeling about
- exactly what the "current" proposal holds. The exact data file
- format is somewhat unclear to me. For example, how does the user
- assign a key to a non-standard menu entry for a specific application?
-
- On another topic, I thought I would ask if "reverse TAB" should
- be implemented in dialog boxes? I spent some time thinking about it,
- and finally realized that one way this could (easily) be implemented
- is to simply change the key value (kr) result of evnt_multi() from
- a Control+TAB to an Up Arrow before passing the value to the
- form_keybd() routine. That way the system would do all of the work.
