#"^M" Use this code to find string for any other key: Insert-event-func [ print [event/type " " mold event/key] return event] unview/all view/new layout [button "Halt" [Halt]] do-events --Colin

Hi Ammon, << Does anyone know the string for the enter key? >> It looks like #"^M". I found this out by using a snippet Allen Kamp wrote that is in a View doc from CodeConscious. REBOL [] key-event: func [face event] [ if event/type = 'key [ print mold event/key ] event ] insert-event-func :key-event view layout [ text {Type and see the char or keycode printed in console} button "Remove Event & Close" 200 [ remove-event-func :key-event unview/all ] ] Great stuff Allen! Thanks! --Gregg

Thanks Gregg, I added a slightly more informative one to the FAQ at http://www.rebolforces.com/view-faq.html#sect3.4. It also tells the state of the shift and control keys. Cheers, Allen K

Allen, << I added a slightly more informative one to the FAQ at http://www.rebolforces.com/view-faq.html#sect3.4. It also tells the state of the shift and control keys. >> Thanks! Your example of how to trap the close-window event is great too, and prompted a question in my mind somewhat related to the recent discussion on REBOL docs here. I use probe, source, easy-VID, Word Browser, etc. but I haven't seen anything that talks about all the events that may come in for feel (e.g. up over away) or that may be used with insert-event-func. Is there a good way to mine that information? --Gregg
