#9586: Using the keyboard to select whole words ----------------------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: Kev | Owner: stippi Type: bug | Status: reopened Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Applications/WebPositive | Version: R1/Development Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: x86 ----------------------------------------+---------------------------- Comment (by ttcoder): Regarding the suspicion that BWindow always eats command-xyz events, good point -- just realized that the "return true" here http://cgit.haiku-os.org/haiku/tree/src/kits/interface/Window.cpp#n3803 is ''outside'' of the '' if(shortcut != NULL) '', weird. I guess the only way this works out for BTextView is [http://cgit.haiku- os.org/haiku/tree/src/kits/interface/Window.cpp#n3681 this] `return false`, meaning that keyboard events are not specifically targetted at the CurrentFocus() view (sounds reasonable right?). As to the behavior of arrow-key messages, as noted above it does not always work. In my experience it depends on how the tab was created, if you clicked inside it ..etc. Sometimes I press arrow-down and get no response at all, until I click the view. Had to do that (clicking) just now when responding to this ticket for example. -- Ticket URL: <https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/9586#comment:6> Haiku <https://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
