[Gambas-user] Gambas 3 GTK+ Keystroke Problem

[Michael]

Problem fixed. For those interested I had at some time allocated CTRL-O 
as a shortcut key for a menu. I changed my mind and unchecked the CTRL 
option and thought this was all I needed to do. In fact I had left just 
'o' as a shortcut key so it was intercepted by the menu system and not 
passed to the textbox. I found it by creating a new form and copying all 
my controls from the offending form and it worked. Then I used a good 
old command line 'comm' to compare the files and spotted this 
difference. Embarrassing!
