I also missed the ability to cycle through the tools using the keyboard as was
available in HyperCard.
Here is a piece of code you can put in your project script. I copied the base from the
demo stack that came with MetaCard and then added some new ones for choosing tools. I
hope it helps.
the mnenomics are:
s=Stack script
c=Card script
p=Pointer
h=Hand ("browse")
b=Button
f=Field
on commandKeyDown which
if the optionKey is down then
switch which
case "S"
edit script of the topStack
break
case "C"
edit script of this card of the topStack
break
case "B"
choose button tool
break
case "P"
choose pointer tool
break
case "F"
choose field tool
break
case "H"
choose browse tool
break
default
pass commandKeyDown
end switch
else
if which is "m" then
modeless "message box"
exit commandKeyDown
end if
if which is "w" then
save this stack
close this stack
exit commandKeyDown
end if
end if
pass commandKeyDown
end commandKeyDown
