Hi,

under Windows, adding a keyboard shortcut to trap the return key prevents the return key from functioning in an editor gadget. This is fine as it actually suits my purposes.

I need to know though if something similar is true under Linux? I know it is about time I sorted myself out with a Linux installation or two under VMWare, but I never seem to get around to it somehow!

I'd be grateful if someone could compile and run the following under Linux to see if the keyboard shortcut prevents the return key from registering in the editor gadget?

Code: Select all

If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 322, 150, "EditorGadget", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
  EditorGadget(0, 8, 8, 306, 133)
  AddKeyboardShortcut(0, #PB_Shortcut_Return, 1)

  For a = 0 To 5
    AddGadgetItem(0, a, "Line "+Str(a))
  Next
  Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
EndIf

Thanks.

Srod - sorry answer took so long, My swap partition was coming up with errors, and being a Linux newbie took a while to sort out.

Using your code snippet, the return key is unusable in the gadget, If preesing return , nothing happens, no extra line is created.

So you should be happy as it does the same as windows.
