Suppose a user is keying some characters into a string, and I want to insert an
additional character (let's say it's in a variable called 'myChar') by program
(from a palette, for example). This is probably very very obvious, but I can't
hack it. I can do
if "field" is in the focusedObject then
put myChar after the focusedObject
end if
But of course 'after' ignores the position of the insertion point. I can't see
how to bring the insertion point into it. I have tried using 'the
selectedChunk', and basically anything with the word 'chunk' embedded in it,
but to no avail. The clickLoc I suppose does give coordinates in pixels but it
is not really to do with chunks. Really I want it to be possible to script
put myChar after the insertionPoint of the focusedObject
but there is no such property.
It must be obvious, but I don't see it.
Feeling particularly stupid, even for a Sunday afternoon.
TIA for any advice.
Graham
