Hi Ultravibe,

I would try SPACE, but remember that you also need to set -> the acceleratorModifiers
to make the acceleratorkey work.

Hi Ultravibe,

I never messed around with this "accelerator" stuff, too Windows like for me old time Mac-user :D

Try something like this in the card script, this is what I do usually:

Code: Select all

on keydown tKey
  if tKey = SPACE then
    send "mouseup" to btn "you know which one..."
    ## or do whatever you need to do here...
  else
   pass keydown
  end if
end keydown
You get the picture...
