Why wont "enter" work for popup windows via UDC?

Post by serendipity »

I wanted to get rid of hitting enter on a popup window by combining ::#183 (File>Settings>save all settings) and ::#160 (File>enter). But it doesnt work (probably in this case enter wont work). I wonder how to make it work.

I don't think you can. File|Enter does not mean "sendkey Enter" but trigger the command associated to that KS, and it will be executed on your script (I believe) after the first one is completed, which is once you hit Enter/press Ok on the popup.

What you want requires another command, or a parameter for the current one.

You really thought this would work?? :roll:

No, there is no way to do this currently.

:? I thought #160 was File>Open Selected Item(s)? Ok, so the normal keystoke associated with this cmd is Enter but it's not File>enter as I see it...just doing this to clarify it as when I first read it, I was a tiny bit puzzled.

I *might* do *some* changes in *some* commands while they are executed via scripting. But I'm very careful here, because this can get out of hand workwise! I rather give you a scripting verb savesettings plus some property about message or no message.

verb... property... I'm carelessly dropping top secret terminology here... :wink:
