Re: About that Enter key

Ahah! For my part, I just recently updated to RC2 because of the Nested Datagrid Behavior fix. (Thanks again LC). But it really doesn't matter to me as I am in the habit of using Tab to format the script, and Save as a means of compiling and saving at the same time. Bob S > On Nov 12, 2022,

Nested Datagrid Behaviors is implemented!

Hi all. For those of you who were interested in nested datagrid behaviors, it has now been implemented in LC 9.6.9 (rc2). I can confirm it works as advertised. I use to have to replace one of the script only stacks in LC with a modified one of my own, but now no more. Thanks LC Dev team, you a

FYI I NEVER am going to consolidate all my documents in iCloud. That's like hanging a copy of all my keys in the community center that's open 24 hours a day to everyone. One day someone is going to lock the doors... Bob S On Nov 8, 2022, at 13:22 , Geoff Canyon via use-livecode mailto:use-liv
