shortcut keys for 2-button dialog

[MinerHokieRamp]

I have some code with an event structure. One event is value change of the QUIT button. In that event case, there's a 2-button dialog that gives the operator a chance to return or to quit.

To improve human factors for this application, I'd like to allow either dialog option via the keyboard, i.e., without a mouse.

The return key generates True out of the dialog.  Is there a keyboard shortcut for the False case or any way to add code to implement a shortcut?

Not with the built-in dialog, no. You can however create a dialog box of your own that exhibits whatever behavior you want. Here's one example:

The common keyboard shortcut for "cancel" is the Esc key, and it does work with the 2BD. Note that techincally it doesn't trigger the F button, but cancels out of the dialog (similar to if you press the X button or Alt-F4), but the effect is that the output will be F, regardless of what you name the button.

Thanks. That will help.

Your thank you message should not be marked as the solution.  Tst's message was the solution.

To give him proper credit, and for future people reading your message thread to find the solution, I moved the solution marker from your message to Tst's.
