It's my opinion that it is outside the scope of what Livecode is. And as mentioned in other posts there are ways to hook into existing OS features to do this anyway. Livecode is not QuicKeys anymore that QuicKeys is Microsoft Office or Visual Basic or anything else. One Program to rule them all,

With VBscript you can automate some things, but not everything. It is free, but is seriously annoying to work with. Especially if, like me, you are used to easy coding with RevTalk (or whatever it is called now), you might find VBscript to be torturous. For me, though, I cannot add in extra execut

Managing the hilite color of selected text

LC does not retain the hilite of any selected text in a field once you click on another control and does not restore it when you click back into the field again. I'm hoping to find a generalised solution to this. In other applications, it seems that the standard way of working is: - change the h
