Re: move cursor to the end of a line in a field
And if you have a multiline field and would like to go to the end of the current line use this: on rawKeyDown theKey if theKey = 65367 then put word 2 of the selectedLine of me into tLine select after line tLine of me else pass rawKeyDown end if end rawKeyDown > 23. des. 2020 kl. 22:49 skrev Tore Nilsen via use-livecode > : > > > >> 23. des. 2020 kl. 20:57 skrev Douglas A.

You could try this in the field script: on rawKeyDown theKey if theKey = 65367 then select after me else pass rawKeyDown end if end rawKeyDown This will allow the normal behavior for all other keys when the field is active.

Re: move cursor to the end of a line in a field
off the top of my head, select char -1 to -1 of the focusedObject (or me if in the script of the field itself). Trouble is I am trying this in the field script itself and it doesn’t work, but if I enter select char -1 to -1 of field 7 in the message box it DOES work.

Re: move cursor to the end of a line in a field
Douglas, you can use select after line x of fld y for this. For example to place the cursor after line 3 of fld "text" you would write select after line 3 of fld "text" Regards, Matthias - Matthias Rebbe Life Is Too Short For Boring Code > Am 23.12.2020 um 20:57 schrieb Douglas A.
