Invoke your background stack by a key combination

[Malte Brill]

Hi Paul,

I would write a keyboard listener script. This might get you started:

A stack with a field and a button:

In the buttons script:

on mouseUp
   if the flag of me is empty then set the flag of me to false
   set the flag of me to not the flag of me
   if the flag of me then
     put empty into fld "myField"
     startlisten
   end if
end mouseUp

on startlisten
   if the keysDown is not empty then
     put the keysdown&cr after fld 1
   end if
   if the flag of me then send "startlisten" to me in 50 millisecs
end startlisten

This will also work if the stack is in background.

Hope that helps,

Malte
