Data Grid Helper: Inserting a Row

[friday]

Hi

I am relatively new to data grids and the Data Grid Helper plugin. It could be that my problem is something I've done wrong or maybe it's related to Mac. I have installed the Add Row script which should allow the user to add a row to the table by pressing Enter. However, Enter doesn't work and the only combination of keys I can get to work the function key (fn) & Enter. Now, this might be something to do with software - I'm on Mac OS X v10.7.4 - or maybe hardware - MacBook Pro (Early 2011). The other scripts seem to work okay, for instance Delete Row and Reorder Lines.

I thought I would try the forums first before reporting it to the DGH developers as I think it must be a problem specific to my setup rather than a problem with the Data Grid Helper itself.

I'm using LiveCode v5.0.2.

Thanks
Geoff

Hi Geoff,

Everything seems to work as expected.

Your MPB has 78 keys, so there is no Enter key. The Enter key is located in the numeric pad of full size keyboards.

Your are hitting the Return key, which acts as the Enter key in combination with the function key.

That's the standard behavior with a Mac laptop, and has nothing to do with LiveCode. You'll have to use fn Return each time a software requires the Enter key.

Hi

I never realised Enter and Return were different! Excellent, thanks.
