Magic Miyako, a plugin for everything :-) thanks for your informative reply. I've tried your plugin, but it seems that the plugin only accepts one modifier key. This code opens (only with debugger) the macOS Spotlight and close spotlight after you step over "POST VIRTUAL KEY" $modifiers:=Command key mask+Control key mask kVK_Space:=0x0031 POST VIRTUAL KEY (kVK_Space;$modifiers) Second observation: It seems that 4D blocks this keycode combination, cause 4D adds no entry into the edit menu like other apps. (Word, Excel, OutLook, Apple Mail, Textedit, ...) all other apps adds the entry to the edit menu. Why not 4D ? macOS 10.12.6 4D v16.4hf1 4D v17r4 Thanks Armin -- Sent from: http://4d.1045681.n5.nabble.com/4D-Tech-f1376241.html ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:[email protected] **********************************************************************
