A little more info about how I'm using Shapes Window today: I have a lot of stacked shapes that share the same points, so I can't directly select many of these shapes in Workspace. But after I named these shapes with sensible names, thanks to Shapes Window, Shapes Window also makes it super easy to edit and manage these shapes and their various Style settings.

I just wanted to bring that up because I keep finding new ways to use this tool. It's the tool that keeps on giving!

Keep up the great work, Rai!

Argh! Yes, I can see it now... So, thank you very much for the quick feedback too! And, yeah, although I can't test right now if such behavior is due to the Enter key fix/patch, I'm afraid that will be the case.

But I'm still in almost the same situation, I mean, even though of course I don't like this weird behaviors, pressing the Enter key to confirm text field changes is something one do all the time, meantime these disadvantages (even totally undesirable) are not so often or more more use case specific... Maybe the only midway solution would be to add an "Enter confirms remane" (or so) menu option after all, so one have the chance at least of can avoid the disadvantages while the situation requieres it? Although since confirm with Enter is a so taken-for-granted convention, it's going to be a certainly kind of unexpected option to count with...

But, well, note taken in any case! And thanks again for the detailed report, usage feedback and kind words Dennis!

Thanks for looking into this, Rai!

I hope it's possible to fix this, but the workaround from earlier today worked out fine, and I really only need it when I have a lot of shape names to revise. That shouldn't happen too often (I hope.)

BTW, I wondered if I could work around the issue by using the Delete key instead of Backspace, but this has the same problem: pressing Delete will jump the cursor to the end of the text. I wanted to mention this in case it offered another clue.

Hopefully! I'd have to prepare a simplest possible sample script to can report it as it should be, since for what I could observe at the time I dug into it, I'd say there is little more we could do on our part, to get a real fix at least... So, as soon as I get some other things done (someday ), I'll try to look into all that again and see...

Yeah, the very first thing I tried too , as well as any other possible modifier keys combination... Of course, with no different results

Hi. I wouldn't know what to say without maybe some more details. I can see you are using Moho Pro at least, but which version? For the error line, it seems to me you could be not using the latest version of the tool (first post's first link, labeled as: ls_shapes_window_v0.3.0-beta3_20240209-0054.zip ), isn't it? Anyway, FTR, some comments in code state I started using "moho:CountSelectedShapes" instead of "LM_SelectShape:CountSelectedShapes", which may have something to do? But, again, none of this should be a problem if you were using latest version of the tool in Moho Pro 14.1 or, well, I don't think so...

Yes, I'm using the latest version of Moho Pro 14.1, but it's just a trial version, and the script is also the latest version. It's important to note that it worked correctly some time ago, but not anymore. I have many scripts installed; could there be a conflict with any of them? I can't tell after the error occurred.

I've reinstalled both Windows and Moho Pro, and I'm encountering the same error. However, I'm using the same resources folder and script folders from the previous installation; I copied the folder from the previous system.

So, I found it, just as I suspected. It was caused by a script that replaced the standard tools with some updated ones, but they were meant for earlier versions of Moho Pro. Thank you, and sorry for the inconvenience.

Perfect! It makes all sense that could be the cause... And no inconveniences at all, happy to know you finally got it sorted
