I know that this issue was addressed sometime in the last couple of years, but I can't seem to locate it:
When selecting a single line from a scrolling list
(this being a Rev list, not the OS file selection
box)it would be useful to enter 1-3 keys to have the
field scroll to the entered letter, or letters.
Could someone point me to the discussion of that subject?
Here's mine (watch for line wrap):
local lOldTicks,lUserKeys
on keyDown whichKey -- select from keyboard
-- J. Landman Gay, 1990, modified for Revolution: 2003
if (the selectedField is not "") or (charToNum(whichKey) is among the items of "28,29,30,31") -- arrow keys
then pass keyDown
if the ticks - lOldTicks > 60 then put "" into lUserKeys
put whichKey after lUserKeys
put return & fld 1 & return into tListText
get lineoffset(cr&lUserKeys,tListText)
if it > 0 then set the hilitedlines of fld 1 to it
put the ticks into lOldTicks
end keyDown
This allows you to type more than just the first character of a line to hone in on an exact line match. If the user pauses for more than a second (60 ticks,) then the collected keystrokes are abandoned and the search starts over. You can adjust the timing by changing the "60" to something else.
