Hello. I'm newcomer. Yesterday, I started to use SC3 on Mac Leopard.

When I want to now about any keyword, manual says
1. Double click on the word.
2. Then, cmd+d

But, no response is came, only error tone is sounded. What shall I do?
Please teach me!!

That's strange, definitely shouldn't be the case.

Does it open the helpfile if you go to the help menu?

What keyboard layout are you using? (System Preferences > International)

What version of SC? Are you using the current stable 3.2 build?

In the meantime, you might try Help.gui to browse through the helpfiles by category. Or,

Code:
"Document".openHelpFile;


(... where Document can be replaced with whatever you want to get help on)

Here's another useful diagnostic.

Open a new text window and paste the following into it.

Code:
Document.current.keyDownAction = { |doc, key, modifiers, keycode|
   [key, modifiers, keycode].debug("key");
};

Document.current.keyDownAction = nil;


Now run the first code block (first 3 lines). After this, any key you press in that window should print out (in the post window) the character typed, any shift/option/cmd etc. keys pressed at the same time, and unicode.

On my machine (10.4.11) pressing cmd-D prints nothing and then opens help. If your machine prints key info for cmd-D, please post it here -- then we know what keystroke sc thinks it's getting.

When you're done with that test, you can either close the code window or run the last line to turn off character printing.

James
