Livecode Block Tab Key

Question

How do we block the tab key?

//this handler is not executed on simulator, maybe because it is supported only in Desktop and Web?

on tabKey

end tabKey

What I want is, when a user pressed tab key, it should not add any space. Pressing tab in development does not add add space but when I ran it in iPad simulator 8.2, it adds space when tab is pressed.

Answer 1

The rawKeyDown message should do what you want.

on rawKeyDown theKey
  if theKey is not 65509 then
    pass rawKeyDown
  end if
end rawKeyDown
