Well, it depends on what you want to do. Personally, I only remove the traversalOn for buttons that need to act on the text of a selectedField (for example if I had a button for "bold" that would embolden the selected text).

2 little questions
Hi All, Two little questions: 1. in the transcript dictionary is stated: - on unix and windows systems, the commandkey function returns the same value as the controlkey function. This can be verified in VPC. But which is the value returned by the equivalent of the commandkey on the mac in windows? (because of the special assignment of the commandkey on the mac, this cannot be retrieved in VPC) 2. noticing a difference in behavior of buttons between platforms (one more :-): - a button with the traversalon set to true (default condition) will take the focus out of a field when activated by mouse in windows, but not so on mac. Which is correct behavior and which is preferable? TIA. Greetings, Wouter ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
