Yes, LC only handles the most common UI conventions.  Actions specific 
to an app's design will of course need to be scripted.

So while you shouldn't need to script anything to have the arrow keys 
navigate the selected line of a field, you can use the automatic 
behavior provided to trap the selectionChanged message to copy the 
hilitedText of the field into another field as needed.
