TO answer your first question. YES it's an OS X thing! It's "free" when using
Cocoa text fields. When LiveCode finally ports to Cocoa the "standard" context
menu would at least be an option. I can't see that it is possible to hook into
that today. So you have to roll your own...

No the core of it was presented to me by another LC dev, and I modified it to
suit my needs. I just didn't want to go through the trouble of making it
generic again.

Unless I am mistaken, this is not true. In OSX, control-clicking and right
clicking are the same thing, but not the same as command-clicking

Command clicking and right-clicking are the same thing in OS x (unless you
changed the default prefs). What you are really talking about is a contextual

Thanks Peter and Craig,
Good thoughts, but I wasn't thinking of either one of those things. I am aware
of the new LC text property that makes spell check possible in LC, I have
looked at the spell-checker in the LC store, and I do remember the HC
command-key feature. (Heck, my Atari 64 seems li
Hi.
Are you harking back to HC, where holding the commandKey down in an unlocked
field would put the clickText?
This does not work natively in LC, though you can always:
on mouseUp
put the clickText --into tText
--load popUpGadget
end mouseUp
There is no visual feedback that somethin
Hi Tim,
There was a similar discussion a few months back regarding the spell
checking ability built into an OS, specifically OSX. The outcome of that
was simply that LC doesn't provide a way to hook into it so I think the
answer to your question would be the same.
There is a third party spell che
