Command line and 4.60

Hi Eric

I don't think the Command line is working with 4.60 – unless I am doing something stupid, which is perfectly possible .... :mrgreen:

Bonjour George,

What do you mean by not working?

Cordialement.

Hi Eric

Say you want to draw a rectangle.

Select the rectangle tool and start to draw. The command line recognizes that you are drawing a rectangle and displays x1 and y1. But you can't enter any data – it has defaulted to d-mode but the dx box is not on focus. You can't tab from box to box. You also can't change modes – x-mode (x2, y2) to d-mode (dx, dy) or vice-versa.

If you click and leave the rectangle drawn to whatever size it is, you can in fact click the dx box and now enter data – hitting the Enter/return key then draws a second rectangle (or square) the size you entered.

It seems to be the same with all objects.

It isn't working like it did under 4.51 :( :(

Bonjour George,

You are right but this affects only the Cocoa version.
I have updated it (same link).

Thank you.

Hi Eric

Works fine now – many thanks :mrgreen:

Keyboard shortcuts are still not working properly though?

Cheers -- George
