I have a macro to select all text in an input box of a dialogue box. While the selection exists, the text cursor is moved one position to the left, so that the last character isn’t selected anymore.
I want to be able to repeat this cursor movement so that I can deselect the last two, three, ... characters of the current selection.
Is it possible to set a variable when a palette is opened?
I've found this solution ...
First I create a macro that is triggered when the New term dialogue box is opened:
It sets the variable newTermOpened to 1.
From the palette I call the macro to shrink the selection in two input boxes by one character (from the right). It then sets the variable newTermOpened to 2. Each subsequent time I call the macro (without closing the palette/ dialogue box), the action 'Select all' will be omitted.
