Suffering from a Brain Fart...

[Roger Guay]

I often use a script like this at the stack level, but I’m sure I’m missing your point.

on controlKeyDown pKey

if pKey = "e" then set the style of stack "TextOmatic" to topLevel

if pKey = "p" then set the style of stack "TextOmatic" to palette

end controlKeyDown
