Peter:
Thanks for sharing your angst! Helps me to know I'm not alone and that
one of the true geniuses of this list will manifest a wonderfully
simple, universal solution. Now I'm wondering, whether all of the key
actions you mentioned as being erratic should be allowed to be so
problematic in the first place. For navigation purposes CommandKeys
and ArrowKeys are fundamental to the GUI. They've just got to work
predictably and without trouble. WHY is this such a big deal?????

To me, managing the focus is one of the truly bedeviling problems in
Rev. Sometimes commandkey strokes don't work -- when you have a
commandkeydown handler in the stack script and the focus somehow has
gotten place somewhere else. If it's in a field, you can often track
it down, but sometimes (depending on what the user has been doing
with various clicks) the focus ends up on something obscure, like a
button, or worse, someplace totally untrackable. No matter how I try
to manage the focus, at some point my arrowkey strokes or commandkey/
controlkey strokes unpredictably just vanish somewhere in the
message path. I have finally resorted to using a frontscript to
manage modifer keystrokes or arrowkeys. What do others do? There
must be some tricks I'm missing.

Thanks Guys. Just glad my memory hadn't gone on the fritz. I still
can't see why it's not working for me now, but not worth worrying
about so long as I know it'll eventually work.

Right, the official object of focus isnt influenced by what the
developer or user is looking at at any particular moment (no matter
how hard one looks at something). This has tripped me up a million
times. Then the question is how to make sure (by script) that the
object of interest is the object of focus.

Joe - the arrow keys work fine here with 3.5. Are you sure there
isn't something else that has focus (like a field in the property
inspector or the message box) that could be eating up the arrowkey
message?

Whom-so-ever:
I seem to recall that if you have an object selected in the IDE that
you can adjust its location a pixel at a time with the arrow keys.
In 3.5 it no longer does that. Is there a preference someplace that
turns that off?
