a.k.a. "Richmond's longest-lasting headache"
imagine this sort of script:
on mouseUp
set the useUnicode to true
set the unicodeText of the selectedText to numToChar(2340)
select after the selectedText
end mouseUp
all looks straightforward (nicht?), but 'tis not to be . . . :(
because select after the selectedText sends the cursor to the START
of the unicodeText!
let's try:
on mouseUp
set the useUnicode to true
set the unicodeText of the selectedText to numToChar(2340)
--select after the selectedText
end mouseUp
this results in exactly the same thing, which suggests select after the
selectedText
is "a dead duck"
of course, some folks suggested I use select after fld "TiddleyPush" when
I raised this issue previously; but that is also no good as it is no use
at all for
in-text editing.
What I need is for the cursor to always remain right after the unicode
glyph that
has just been entered.
. . . drowning over here . . .
Richmond.
