On a dialogbox with editboxes a "TAB" key press jumps down thru the entries. My question: Is there a way to program another "key" to accomplish this or is there some way to program another key to emulate a "TAB"? I know "^I" is a tab, but the dialogbox script doesn't "see" a keyboard remap for some reason.

Keyboard / dialogbox question?
- Thread starter SAMMEE12

Are you trying to have a script navigate a dialogbox? I don't believe it would be possible to use the keyboard map to have another key send the tab since that only determines what Procomm sends over a connection, not the local keymapping.

Well, thanks for the response. I was actually trying to make it easier on me to navigate thru my dialogboxes. The ones I created need mostly numerical inputs and my keyboard has one "tab" key all the way to the left which either requires a two-handed approach or constant movement from one side of the keyboard to the other.
I imagine there are freeware utilities available on Tucows or other software archives that will let you remap a physical key on your keyboard to send a specified value. However, I don't know of one specifically as I've never needed to do this in the past.
