Hi Roger,

Interesting demo, thanks for sharing ;)

Instead of the repeat loop to look for the correct item:

on controlKeyDown theKey
   set itemdelimiter to tab

repeat for the number of lines of btn "popupMenu" -- Menu items are
the "lines" of the Popup btn
   add 1 to theNum
   if last char of line theNum of btn "popupMenu" = theKey then \
   put item 1 of line theNum of btn "PopupMenu"  into fld "Rfld"
end repeat

   pass controlKeyDown
end controlKeyDown


You may use the lineOffset function like this:

 get lineOffset("ctrl+" & theKey,btn "popupMenu")
 if (it is 0) then
      put "Nothing" into fld "Rfld"
 else
      put item 1 of line it of btn "PopupMenu"  into fld "Rfld"
 end if

Just a suggestion to facilitate the work of Revolution ;)
