Aloha, Jacqueline:

Outstanding! thank you... solutions... "Without either a real menu bar "

FYI, this I don't think is explicitely documented (thus my consternation over failing cmd keys for several years now...)

All it says is:

"* Putting the / character anywhere in a line makes the next character the keyboard equivalent for the menu item. Neither the / nor the character following it appear in the menu, nor do they appear in the parameter to the menuPick message.

And the tool tips for the Rev Tools all say "Popup menu" "pulldown menu" all imply a menu, and other feature of menus as described in "Menus and the Menu Bar" topics section *do* work just fine whether the button in a group that is hoisted to menu status or not (e.g. cascading behavior) You might consider adding this that topic section *and* to each of the keyword definitions for Popup, pulldown and option buttons.

Thanks you I can now fix this :-)!

Dear Sivakatirswami,

The problem would be that you haven't designated the buttons as an actual menu, so the engine is ignoring the keyboard shortcuts. Those will only work if you set up a real menubar and assign it as the stack's menu. If you do not want your menubar to go into the Mac's main menu area, then you can set the
editmenus to true on openstack so that the stack does not scroll

Alternately, if you want to keep your layout the way it is now without a real menu bar, write a commandKeyDown handler to manage command-key presses. Without either a real menu bar or a commandkey handler, Rev has no way of
knowing what to do with those keyboard shortcuts so it ignores them.

I wish... (I found a blocking handler) but no... there is nothing in
the stack to block the key down msg. I'm also getting this in a
nother button with "Save/S"

Case "Save"
   save this stack
    break


which appears fine in the menu, works fine from the menu, but doing
cmd-S from the keyboard does nothing... which, is scary because users
are thinking the app is being saved, but it's not...

I could send the stack for testing if that would help, would that be
OK? (who would like to test it for me?)



I'll give it a go, if you like to send it along.
