sure: like this:
// On Startup //
If (Caps lock down)
TRACE
End if
If ((Macintosh control down) | (Windows Ctrl down)) & ((Macintosh option
down) | (Windows Alt down))
TRACE
End if

My favorite since Years is a big "Developer" button on a always visible
Dialog:
Case of
: (Form event=On Load)
OBJECT SET VISIBLE(Self->;Not(Is compiled mode))
: (Form event=On Clicked)
If (Macintosh option down)
TRACE
End if
METHOD OPEN PATH("2_0_dev_documentation")
End case

Re: Can't get to development mode!
Not sure what you mean, but we have special keys at startup so that we can go into Trace mode. From there we can trace a startup problem, or drop right into coding if we need. Having a startup crash many years ago instilled doing this. It was stressful trying to break into trace mode when needed. We rarely ever need to use it, but it is there. Behavior created by experience.

Re: Can't get to development mode!
Why does so many use special keys to access the developer? I have used this small code in a menu method for years and it works...

Re: Can't get to development mode!
Hi Doug, Perhaps a typo, but you actually need the Developer license to be able to go to design mode. the Unlimited Desktop license is the one you need to include if you build single user apps.

Re: Can't get to development mode!
I have seen it ignore the Development mode menu selection until I closed an open window. or Does it go to the compiled version, requiring you to select "restart interpreted" from the "run" menu.

RE: Can't get to development mode!
Hi, Can you create a brand new database? If so you should have developer access on a .4DB file. If not do you have a developer license installed?
