Richard, now that you essentially said over and over again "it also means not being able to rely on Alt-click in our UIs":
I say, still valid and also worth to repeat, there is a difference in "alt-clicking" between alt-mouseDown and alt-mouseUp on linux: [1] *** alt-mouseDown does NOT come through to LC. [2] *** alt-mouseUp works: *** You have to FIRST click the object, THEN -- while the mouse is down -- *** hold the altKey down. Good to know. (What, by the way, also works on MacOS and Win 7-10.) No single user of my stacks had ever a problem with that. > RG wrote: > Or more specifically, clickdown-hold-alt-clickrelease, which is so > unusual that I wouldn't expect to be able to explain it to end-users. To explain the "clickdown-hold-alt-clickrelease" you could try the lines: [a] to have "mouseUp" working you should let the mouse up again some time. [b] for developers: Also add "on mouseRelease; mouseUp; end mouseRelease". Nearly all linux users (incl. Raspi users), are smarter than you believe. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
