I'm all the time editing locked or list fields or fields where the

The "onerous" method is of course to switch to the select tool,
double click on the fld; choose Contents from the drop down menu,
resize the window if you need to see more of the contents... edit
contents
Before i cook up my own widget, which would not be hard to do, I was
wondering what do the rest of you do?
OT: is tRev working, bug-free, with the latest versions of LiveCode?

I use a virtual property:
on mouseup theBtn
if theBtn = 1 and "field" is in the target and the \
commandkey is down and the shiftkey is down then
set the writable of the target to not the writable of the target
else
pass mouseup
end if
end mouseup
setprop writable tf
if "field" is not in the target then exit writable
try
set the locktext of the target to not tf
set the traversalon of the target to tf
set the autohilite of the target to tf
-- catch tError
-- beep
-- answer tError
end try
end writable
getprop writable
if "field" is not in the target then return ""
try
put the locktext of the target into L
put the traversalon of the target into T
put the autohilite of the target into A
if T and A and not L then return true
return false
end try
end writable
Put this in a library stack or a frontscript and it will work
everywhere -- command-shift-click on any field and toggle the writable
of the field. I use it constantly. You can revise this to just toggle
the locktext if you work with list fields a lot, so that the usual
hiliting and line selection are preserved, locked or unlocked.
