Matt,
From my testing, Kevin's right... here's the
code:
on rawkeyUp
put the selectedChunk
pass
rawKeyUp
end rawKeyUp
on selectionChanged
put the selectedChunk
end
selectionChanged
If you have both of these, you'll get the current selected
chunk whether you use the arrow keys, click in the field, click and drag to make
a selection or Shift-arrow keys to make a selection.
Let me know if this doesn't work for you...

Subject: selectionChanged
Thanks Kevin for your (always) wise insight. Also really
enjoyed the Real Basic comparison from an earlier e-mail, seems so *difficult*
to emulate simple Rev/HCard behavior! Glad we've got a truly powerful
environment. Now to my simple question, if anyone can help:
I'm trying
to get the current cursor position. The selectionChanged doesn't get sent with
arrow keys nor when you type additional characters at the end of a line. So
how do you truly find where the selection and/or the cursor is: a selected
chunk, at the end of a line (additional typing) or arrowing through the
selection. Am I glossing over an important function (I've studied that
manual!)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS Tried the
rawKeyUp, thanks Kevin: didn't work. I guess I could try and calculate the
position by constantly getting the text of the field but that doesn't seem
very elegant. Thanks again.

This is a feature: its an interaction with the order of the

selectionChanged message is sent after the selection
changes, but the

your
problem.
