Hi Davide
apologize for the simplicistic request but I am using a lot the Writer Region Plugin and from a user point of view is a little bit frustrating that in the region they work fine ( as foreseen) the left/right arrows ...but not the up/down arrow whose usage move the cursor at the beginning of the document. Is there any possibility to modify in the future such a behaviour and make it more confortable from a end user point of view?
Thanks in advance for your help and for all your good work .
Franco

I'll see what I can do but currently up/down arrows are reserved for regions navigation in the worksheet. Allowing the single regions to change the behavior makes the SMath feature almost useless; not allowing it causes some confusion in text/writer regions usage. Either way not good, hence any solution requires a third path. Edited by user 06 November 2018 13:07:59(UTC)

If you like my plugins consider to support SMath Studio buying a plan; to offer me a coffee: paypal.me/dcprojects |

Davide,
always my 2 cents of thoughts ... is it not possible to trap the Up/Down Arrow event in a specific way when the cursor is inside the Writer Region and leave it managed by Smath when the focus is outside that Region ?
OK this is easy to write but probably it is very difficult to finalize from a practical stand point even because I imagine that you handle always all the events linked to the use of the various shortcut and key sequences that are allowed in the Writer region in same way and if it was not possible till now to do as I would like there should be a strong reason.
Best regards
Franco

"special access" is what I called "access from crippled". In fact, what you are asking for has no interest as most often the up/down arrow pad is used to move selected regions. Sorry Collab for my ½ cent !
