Nathan, I've never tried to use the accelerator key but Aldo's Pride script does use Ctrl-G from within the RichEdit field to bring up a dialog box to goto a particular line
I added a few things to this and the code looks like this sub Editor_KeyPress { my($key) = @_; if ($key == 6 ){ # Ctrl-F Find_Click(); } elsif ($key == 7) { # Ctrl-G return 0; } elsif ($key == 14) { # Ctrl-N FindNext_Click(); } elsif ($key == 9) { # Tab return 0; } elsif ($key == 13) { # Enter etc where the RichEdit field is called Editor. Something like that might do what you want, although the keys only work when the Editor field has focus. Cheers, Kev. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, I'm new to Win32::GUI and trying to solve a problem; I can't find a thing about it in the mail archives. Is it possible to define keyboard accelerators for menu items - not the mnemonics used in conjunction with the Alt key, but the Ctrl characters that dispatch to menu callbacks (commonly done in GUI applications)?
