List not closed after clearing the text via Ctrl+A → Backspace..

Open eddbs opened this issue 9 years ago • 5 comments

In order to clear all the text quickly, I always press "Ctrl+A" and then press "Backspace", so in this case the List should close too, I would love to see the fix to this issue on a new version, thank you! (:

Maybe I can handle some limited examples of this, but this really opens up a can of worms. I really just track keypresses, moving the cursor or changing an existing word is never accounted for. There's no way to easily do this with AHK.

I will look into trying to handle Ctrl-A, at least in limited cases.

BTW, I'm classing this as an enhancement because it's new functionality. It was never designed to handle this case.

Ok ok, so I'll wait for this enhancement, thank you for the support! :)

The thing is that in my script I have a textbox with no multiline, so it just select the whole single line to clear it all by pressing Ctrl+A and backspace, and here it's an example of how it looks after clearing the textbox:

So I think that yes, the solution would be to handle something like: Ctrl+A → Backspace = Close the List.

Hi @ManiacDC

You're right, this is a Pandora's box... if you're going to cover Ctrl-A, Backspace, then you might want to also cover Ctrl-A, Delete.
