Shortcut for Save Location??
Steve, Is it possible for us to have a keyboard shortcut key for Page Save Location Ant URL / Acorn URI please. I don't know what other people think? but I am always saving URLs and it is quite frustratingly error-prone navigating the mouse to the 4th level. It would be nice if we could have a keyboard shortcut to either Ant URL or Acorn URI Is this an easy thing for you to do? I have no idea if it is or isn't myself... -- Cheers Roger Never use just one cooking pot when you can make do with all of them

My favoured option! Gets to the same end for the Ant URL for me! Handy for my URLtoIE proglet too! Best wishes, John

[Snip] Is there a reason why you don't drag or shiftdrag the URL from the address bar? I appreciate this is a keyboard shortcut involving the mouse (!) but it is better than navigating menus IMO. -- Tim Hill .. www.timil.com

What happens is that the URL is highlighted and there is no Save box. That's because Select's icon text selection feature breaks draggable writable icons. You would need to check the Select documentation to find out if there's a keyboard modifier to override this and allow the drag to work as intended. I don't have a copy of the relevant OS to hand, but what if you drag the icon at the left-hand end of the URL bar and not the text itself? -- Steve Fryatt - Leeds, England http://www.stevefryatt.org.uk/

(Also true on 5.16) From Jim and Chris's response it looks as if it broke after 4.39.

So much misinformation in this thread. It does work on RO 6.20 and previous Select versions. Ok - I have now got shift-drag to work on 6.10 - this will save file with type URL. What does not work on 6.10 is drag without shift. On the Iyonix this saves a file with type Text. John Try Ctrl - Drag. Dave -- Dave Triffid
