Wrong "help" in Help File

logosres:logos4help;hw=Command_Box

It says that the Mac short cut to activate the command box is Command-D. Fortunately the Wiki shows it correctly as Option+Command+L.

Interestingly, if I am working in a floating window and invoke the command the program will not take me to the Command Box. I have to have the main window active. That seems to defeat the usefulness of the keyboard shortcut. Is that normal?

Yes, thank you Graham, I did that. However, perhaps you did not get past my initial statement to the other questions I had. There was more to the brief post.

I saw the other questions but as I don't use a Mac I wasn't able to comment on those.

Hopefully someone else will be able to do so

I do have a Mac, but don't use floating windows and therefore don't know "what is normal."

I reported this as a bug last year and FL acknowledged it and said they would investigate, but so far no fix.

As far as "normal", you can type Command-O to open the documents menu from a floating window, so it should be normal to have the command line pop to the front when you invoke it from a floating window also.

I'll ask the person in charge of editing the Help file to fix this error.

I will add a thread to this forum post to the active case so that we will let you know once it is fixed. [:)]

Thanks Angela!

Thank you for pointing this out, I have corrected the command and this will be reflected in a future update.
