Redefine the Delete key?

TIG

How about Ctrl+Backspace or Ctrl+Delete ?

I'm thinking that I might leave this for the user to configure.

just a thought, can you not remove it from SU shortcut list when your script starts so you have access then return it to SU when your script exits?

No - You can't even redefine it from the SU UI. It won't let you.

i removed it from the edit/delete shortcut and i couldn't even reassign it. had to open another copy of SU.

?
So one can remove the shortcut? But not reassign it? Nor even restore it to the SU default?

you can remove it through preferences>shortcuts, by highlighting it and hiiting the - button. but no i couldn't reassign to edit>delete after

i tried to fool it with ascii, no luck.
btw, how is your script coming along?

Starting to shape up. I'll be making a post about it this week.

Hi Thom

Have you tested for compatibility on the mac. Remember that the default key in the mac to erase stuff is backspace, not delete.

No - not yet tested OSX.
