A gripe about the dictionary (battery life)

[Alejandro Tejada]

This a great to know. Many Thanks, Geoff! :D
For newbies, these are the steps
to change this Dictionary script:

1) Open the LiveCode Dictionary in the IDE

2) In the message box, write:
set the cantModify of stack "revDictionary" to false

3) In the message box, write:
edit the script of stack "revDictionary"

4) In the Code Editor windows for the stack "revDictionary"
that appears replace:

on checkForAltKey
   if altKey() is "up" and sAltKeyDown is not false  then
      ## Alt key has been released
      put false into sAltKeyDown
      entryHideLinks
   else if altKey() is "down" and sAltKeyDown is not true then
      ## Alt key has been pressed
      put true into sAltKeyDown
      entryDisplayLinks
   end if
   send "checkForAltKey" to me in 250 milliseconds
end checkForAltKey

with:

on checkForAltKey 
   if altKey() is "up" and sAltKeyDown is not false  then
      ## Alt key has been released
      put false into sAltKeyDown 
      entryHideLinks 
   else if altKey() is "down" and sAltKeyDown is not true then
      ## Alt key has been pressed
      put true into sAltKeyDown 
      entryDisplayLinks 
   end if
 send "checkForAltKey" to me in 1 second 
end checkForAltKey 

on suspendStack 
   stopAltKeyCheck 
end suspendStack 

on resumeStack 
   startAltKeyCheck 
end resumeStack 

5) Click the button Apply and inside the Code Editor window
open the menu File and click Save
(Under Linux, this process is a lot more involved
because file permissions...)

6) Close the LiveCode IDE and, when asked, save the stack
requested by the IDE.

7) Open again LiveCode IDE and verify the changes made.
