textArrows
Type
property
Summary
Specifies whether the arrow keys move the insertion point when there is a text selection.
Syntax
set the textArrows to {true | false}
Description
Use the textArrows property to control the application's response to arrow keys.
If there is an insertion point or text selection in a field, and the textArrows is true, the arrow keys move the insertion point one character left or right, or one line up or down.
If there is no insertion point or text selection, the setting of the textArrows property has no effect.
If a group's tabGroupBehavior is true, you cannot press the arrow keys to move around in any of the fields in the group, regardless of the setting of the textArrows property. Pressing an arrow key moves from control to control instead.
Examples
set the textArrows to true
