One more try on the second part of my original post.
In LC 7.01, Mac Yosemite, I find that the insertion point blinks once when
placed by clicking or typing, then disappears. It will also blink once in its
most recent position if I click the title bar, but again it disappears.
Also, if I type
Thanks to Bernd for the simplest solution to my practical problem. If we "go
to" Stack A "the selectedChunk" will mean "the selectedChunk in stack A". But,
as he notes, preservation of the prior selection depends on certain conditions
(more on this below).
One anomaly is that "the selecte
Just tried with the default button (the blue blinking on on Mac) which has
its traversalOn set to true and the script still worked. I seem to remember
that Mac and Windows handle traversalOn for buttons differently where on Mac
the button does not take the focus from the field. Not sure though.
The
Yes, traversalOn of the button is set to false.
Mind you: I have to go to the topStack to get the selectedChunk when no text
is selected and only the cursor is blinking.
Kind regards

I don't think traversal is the problem here. When I tested, my button did not
have traversalOn set to true (that was the first thing I checked.) The anomaly
is that the selectedChunk works fine if the selection contains text, it only
fails if the selection is a simple insertion point.
Both ins
Yes, the traversalOn property is the key here.
Only one object can have focus at any given time, so when traversing
among controls with the keyboard any field selection will be cleared.
But by turning off the traversalOn property for buttons you want to be
able to act on text, the focus remai
The difference may be that in Bernd's case the traversalon of the button is
false, whereas in David's case the traversalon of the button is true, which
will void the current selection in the field on mousedown.

What I do for this is store the selectedchunk in a customprop or a script
local on mouseEnter in the button script that will be doing the pasting.
That way if the mousedown removes the current selection you already have
the info you need. BTW, if you set the traversalon to false for the button,

Thanks to Craig Newman and Bob Sneidar. Unless I have misunderstood them,
which is possible, I think I have not clearly enough explained my problem.

Instead check the focusedObject. If it is a field then you can paste.

Hi.
I don't understand. If you have text selected in the field, what are you doing
with the value that the selectedChunk sets into the local variable "it"?
You never say where to paste that text. What does this do for you, perhaps with
some text selected in a field 1? It "puts", rather than
15 matches
