Just the sum of this tweaks, especially platform specific adjusting of the
fonts and button sizes in dialogs and positioning of windows.
While we are on this and fully realizing how controversial this issue is,
I'm always changing the MouseDown script of button "menuButton" of stack
"MetaCard Menu Bar" to
on mouseDown which
if MCcheckEdit() then
put "edited" into stackstatus[MCtargetstack(the long id of the target)]
if which is 3 then
select the target
popup "MC SelectedObject Menu"
end if
end if
if the commandKey is down and the optionKey is down then
edit script of the target
else pass mouseDown
end mouseDown
and adding the following line after MouseUp of the same button
on mouseUp which
if the commandKey is down and the optionKey is down then exit to MetaCard
....
This allows "HyperCard like" behavior of editing the script when you option
+ command click on control in any mode. Additional benefit, at least for me,
is that in browse mode command + Option click edits the script of the
control inside the group and in Pointer mode edits the script of the group.
best regards
