LiveCode Forums.

So, fooling around as usual, I came to this site:

and thought a number of thoughts:

1. What is the benefit of being able to assign UpperCase + Option + Command + Capslock
to another key that is going to justify paying any money?

1.1. Come to think of things: what would be the benefit of being able to assign UpperCase + Option + Command + Capslock
to another key regardless of whether one was paying for that or not?

2. Hey, I could always run something like that up in LiveCode.

3. Why was I foolish enough to think LiveCode was capable of writing stuff that could modify
an operating system's key commands?

Funnily enough, I was mucking around with my BBC Master Compact the other day and managed to
fiddle around in BBC BASIC sufficiently to modify behaviour in the MOS operating system . . .

As one can muck around with an operating system's GUI with a wide variety of languages it seems a pity that
one cannot do that with LiveCode.

The distinction with a scripting language is that it insulates the developer from having to use lower level APIs. The downside is that it insulates the developer from access to lower level APIs

LC Builder fills that gap.

Thank you for that succinct reply.
