I assume (???) a lot of these "oversights" are the result of the 'fact'
(?) that
the Livecode people have gone back to square one and virtually recreated
Livecode
/ad novum/ rather than adding incrementally on top of Livecode 7.
I don't know whether this is true. But it seems the 'kindest'
explanation of why
a fair few of these things keep cropping up.

The arrowKey code has nothing to do with a change in language -- the lack
of arrowKey functionality in the IDE is just an oversight on the part of
LiveCode Ltd. (at least, I hope it is).

If you want to recreate the behavior of previous versions of LC, you can
do something like this:
on arrowKey theKey
if the selObj is empty then pass arrowKey
put loc of the selObj into theLoc
put 1 into D
if the shiftkey is down then multiply D by 10
switch theKey
case "left"
subtract D from item 1 of theLoc
break
case "right"
add D to item 1 of theLoc
break
case "up"
subtract D from item 2 of theLoc
break
case "down"
add D to item 2 of theLoc
end switch
set loc of the selObj to theLoc
end arrowKey

Hi All,
I was going to use the arrow keys to move an object, something like
what Devin wrote up a while ago:
on arrowKey pWhich
# determine some way to designate which object is to be nudged
put the long id of btn "test" into tSelObj # for example
switch pWhich
case "left"
put -1 into tXamount
put 0 into tYamount
break
case "up"
put 0 into tXamount
put -1 into tYamount
break
case "right"
put 1 into tXamount
put 0 into tYamount
break
case "down"
put 0 into tXamount
put 1 into tYamount
break
end switch
move tSelObj relative tXamount,tYamount
end arrowKey
Šand after a few tests in LiveCode 8, I can¹t get anything to budge
with the arrowkeys? I opened the same stack in LiveCode 7.06 and it
works fine. Something change or is this a bug in 8?
Thank you!
