Re: [sc-users] GUI keycode inconsistencies?

["tom tlalim" <tlalists@xxxxxxxxx>]

of course i can live happily without it. 
it's my reaction to your comment in JSCView.html.

still, imho tab is quite a comfortable key for live action.
one idea could be to allow personnalization of it through defaultKeyDownAction
this way, as soon as window is closed all goes back to normal

regards,
tom

applications ; alt+tab and alt+shift+tab are available ...
