How to prevent user navigating cards?

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Ron,

Have a look at the commandKeyDown message.
This message has a parameter which corresponds to the key pressed:

on commandKeyDown pKey
   if pKey id not an integer then pass commandKeyDown
end commandKeyDown

This one will trap all numeric keys.
There is no cross-platform difference to manage since the engine will  
understand the command key on Mac OS and the control key on all other  
platforms.
You will have a look to navigation with the arrow keys too :-)
Hope this helps.
