Re: Overriding system shortcuts in OSX

I saw this when I tried to assign Cmd-H to a menu item. It simply did not show up in the menu because Apple uses Cmd-H to hide the current application. Even assuming that Apple traps the Quit command and handles it, when I assigned Cmd-Q with a multi-stack stand alone, it didn't work. I had to use

Re: Overriding system shortcuts in OSX

Oddly, when I have a Quit command in a custom menu, the option does not show up. I think this is because the Livecode menu has a Quit option already, which when using the browse tool will hilite when pressing CMD-Q, but will not actually quit. I have not tested this in a standalone yet. I have

Do you know which system-wide shortcuts OS X traps? Cmd-H is the one I found (Hide Apps) and Cmd-Q (for which there is a LC solution). I'm wondering which other ones we might get stung on. Are you aware of a list of these traps? On Sat, Nov 7, 2015 at 10:54 AM, J. Landman Gay wrote: > OS X traps

Re: Overriding system shortcuts in OSX

OS X traps and responds to its own system-wide shortcuts and does not pass them on to the app, so LC won't know about those. But Cmd-Q behaves slightly differently. OS X does notify the app so it can put up save dialogs or do other housekeeping. If Cmd-Q isn't working, then there is probably s

Re: Overriding system shortcuts in OSX

After some difficulty, I've been able to get Quit to work, but the command-Q part is handled by the system. What are you trying to do? On Fri, Nov 6, 2015 at 4:24 PM, Bob Sneidar wrote: > Yes. You can assign it, but it does nothing. > > Bob S > > > On Nov 6, 2015, at 14:30 , Howard Bornstein

Yes. You can assign it, but it does nothing. Bob S On Nov 6, 2015, at 14:30 , Howard Bornstein mailto:bornst...@designeq.com>> wrote: Is there a list of system shortcuts that can't be overridden? When you say you want to make a quit hotkey, do you mean you want to assign command-Q to a menu it

Is there a list of system shortcuts that can't be overridden? When you say you want to make a quit hotkey, do you mean you want to assign command-Q to a menu item? On Fri, Nov 6, 2015 at 2:20 PM, Bob Sneidar wrote: > It's my understanding that with OS X you cannot do this. I would like to > make

Re: Overriding system shortcuts in OSX

It's my understanding that with OS X you cannot do this. I would like to make a quit hotkey so users can quit my application, but I cannot seem to get that to work. Bob S On Nov 6, 2015, at 13:56 , Howard Bornstein mailto:bornst...@designeq.com>> wrote: I want to command-H for a menu item in

Overriding system shortcuts in OSX

I want to command-H for a menu item in my standalone, but it doesn't work because the system uses command-H for Hide Application. Even though I've assigned this shortcut to a menu item, it is ignored and the system command is used instead. It seems like this should be simple but I can't figure out
