Where do Command-C and Command-V get handled?

[Hugh Senior]

I think you mean something like this in the stack script...

on commandKeyDown pKey
  if pKey="C" then copy
  else if pKey="V" then paste
  else pass commandKeyDown
end commandKeyDown

/H

In my own customized defaultMenuBar, I have included an Edit menu with my
own copy and paste commands, with command-C and command-V equivalents
defined using the "/" convention.


When those commands are chosen from the menu, my copy and paste scripts are
executed as expected.  But when I use the command-key equivalents, my
scripts are not executed, and some standard copy and paste behavior takes
place instead.


I can see why when Metacard's own menu is open as a palette there could be
some ambiguity about which command-key equivalents have priority.  But this
problem occurs even when Metacard's own menu is not open.  And when I press
command-C, my own menubar's "Edit" button flashes, as if to confirm that the
keypress has triggered the action that my menubar's script commands.


What is governing this behavior, and how can I get my own scripts to be
called when the command-key combinations are used?


Many thanks.
