Hi Jeremy, > Not seeing it?
Means I cannot find any code example sin the doc showing how to trap for this key pressed. I didn’t mean I was actually looking for the space key results? And in this scenario I’m not concerned with data entry, per se. So…. I don’t think I can do it with native 4D code then. My scenario is simple (like other programs): When the space bar is pressed I want the cursor to change to a little hand and then as I move the mouse the diagram moves (actually scrolls) around. Seems so simple… Thanks for your help, John... > > Not seeing it?
