Hi LoloKiki,

I gave it a try and don't know if that is what you want. Now you can resize complex groups and simple objects with the larg handles. Still alt-click into an object and the resize handles/group appear. For text fields that are editable you have to add a script to the objects that is triggered by pressing the alt-key and moving into the field. MouseEnter is the message that is used. All this because editable fields don't receive mouseUp messages.

Look at the scripts and tell me if it is what you wanted. Some explanation in the stack also.

You can always trap the rawKeyDown and rawKeyUp messages and then set the lockText property of the field based on the optionKey function..

Code: Select all

on rawKeyDown
  set the lockText of field "YOUR_FIELD" to (the optionKey is down)
  pass rawKeyDown
end rawKeyDown

on rawKeyUp
  set the lockText of field "YOUR_FIELD" to (the optionKey is up)
  pass rawKeyUp
end rawKeyUp

Hi shaosean,

thanks for the suggestion. Alas on MacOS pressing the option(alt)-Key does not send a rawKeyDown message. So pressing the alt-key and klicking into a field would not temporarily lock the field for it to receive the mouseUp message. Thats why I used the mouseEnter message.
Kind regards

If you left-click in an editable field with the command key down (control key on Windows) then you do get a mousedown and mouseup.
