Define arrow key behaviour in textbox groups


SYNTAX

!compat arrowkeys = 4

This declaration causes the LEFT and RIGHT ARROW keys to move between textboxes in a group. RIGHT ARROW, if pressed at the end of a textbox, moves to the next box in the group; LEFT ARROW moves from the start of a box to the previous box in the group. This was how programs compiled with versions of Sculptor earlier than 5.3 behaved.

If the declaration is absent from programs compiled with Sculptor versions 5.3 and later, LEFT and RIGHT ARROW do not move from the current textbox in these circumstances.
