Because this is so important for a lot of Mac/Win/linux stacks, especially linux-RaspberryPi, I use it there often (and let user's know in the help): [1] *** alt-mouseDown does NOT come through to LC. [2] *** alt-mouseUp works: *** You have to FIRST click the object, THEN -- while the mouse is down -- *** hold the altKey down. (Usually nearly everybody uses the reverse order: first the key then the click). *** So one could say, "alt-click" on linux should be done as "click-alt" *** Try it from a button with on mouseUp put the optionkey into fld 1 end mouseUp Tested on Ubuntu/Mint/Rapbian. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
