Not as obvious as it seems as with MacOS you can reset many function keys, for some odd reason you cannot assign another key to do the "fN" thing. On 26.10.21 17:10, Sean Cole via use-livecode wrote: Richmond wrote: Not unless you have a fN key to start with. Obvs :D ___

Re: Number of items

Not many know about the ellipsis character: HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS … And there is also ᠁ ⋰ ⋱ ︙ ᠁ the last being the MONGOLIAN ELLIPSIS. It’s all in the Character Viewer, on the Mac -- Control/Command/Space. Peter > On Oct 25, 2021, at 8:31 PM, Alex Tweedly via use-livecode > wrote: > > One.

One. The three dots are an ellipsis, not a period :-) :-) On 25/10/2021 20:32, J. Landman Gay via use-livecode wrote: On 10/25/21 1:00 PM, Alex Tweedly via use-livecode wrote: On 25/10/2021 17:43, J. Landman Gay via use-livecode wrote: Delimiters signify the end of a unit, like a period at the

Re: Number of items

Delimiters signify the end of a unit, like a period at the end of a sentence. The delimiter basically "belongs" to the string preceeding it. There was a long discussion here quite a while ago about this and Mark Waddingham posted some interesting and difficult issues that would arise if the ru

Why is it a feature? (I'm sorry, I am sure it has been explained before in these lists) I searched the Quality Center and could find no open bug entry for this. As LC 9.6.3 still gives and item count of ",1" as 2 and an item count of "1," as 1 that this is indeed the expected behavior?!? I w

It is indeed a feature, and just requires remembering how LC (and HC before it, from the beginning) treat how items are counted. Craig > On Oct 25, 2021, at 11:06 AM, Pi Digital via use-livecode > wrote: > > It’s not a bug. It’s a feature. And a welcome one, too. We just have to > handle it
