Hi Darrell, Yes -- as documented -- the script currently applies only to hotkeys that read the current character, word, or line in either an Edit or RichEdit control. Cursoring keys such as Backspace or Delete are not affected. I agree that would be a desirable enhancement, but technically it is more challenging. The reason is that the API lets a script inject itself into hotkey actions but not cursoring key actions at this time.
