Hi,

I would like to use the keyboard's tab key to delimite some items in a field. But when I press the tab key on my keyboard, my cursor changes the selectioned field on my stack. So, I can't insert a tabulation between the items in the field. My items are words.

Someone could help me, please ?

Thanks you in advance,

Vincent.

one way would be to do something like this

Code: Select all

on tabKey
   put tab into the selection
end tabKey

Captures the tab key press, then manually puts tab at the cursor position. If something has actively been selected in the field it will be replaced by tab.
