I just double-checked: created a new mainstack, put a new field in it,
put some text into it, and put this in the field script:

on selectionchanged
beep
end selectionchanged

and when I click anywhere in the text to change the insertion point I
get a beep, but when I use the arrowkeys to move the insertion point I
get no beep, just a silent shift of the insertion point.

I finally checked on this, and you're right, selectionChanged isn't sent in an unlocked, non-list field. Instead, arrowkeys are treated as keypresses like any other character, so you need to trap key-related messages instead.

If the field is a list field, then arrowkeys do trigger selectionChanged.
