no, that is the RAWKEY code for that erm. key. :-)

Hi Roger. Don't know if you've seen the script I posted around 6 hour
ago ("expanded snippet").
It does the correct forward / backward key movements, and also
implements both "backspace" (delete the char to the left of the iBeam)
and "delete" (remove the char to the right of the ibeam) as

Why do you need to emulate them?
Will you NOT have access to a physical keyboard?
Here's the script of a stupid button to DELETE one number in
a calculator read-out:

I am sorry for that misunderstanding: I had a fairly fixed idea of what
constituted a calculator in my head, and what you seem to want with your
back, forward and delete keys seems more
"word-processory".

OK, so I was close, but didn't get the cigar.
Here's an expanded snippet. The input is in a field called "fInput", the
buttons are all in a group, and handled by the group script (saves
having many tiny almost identical scripts).
The script uses the name of the target - but since I would
Surely the script depends on what you want those buttons to do.

Thanks, Alex. Sorry I didn’t make myself clear. I’m building a calculator stack

Hi Roger,
I'm not sure I properly understand your question.
here's a code snippet the moves the insertion point (in this sample,
typing an 'f' moves it forward, 'b' moves it back). (Note this also
works if there is some text selected - it moves the insertion to just
after the selection, just

I simply want to be able to move the insertion iBeam in a focused field left

then to delete the char in front of it (just like the Delete key). The
