Press and hold of Enter key rapidly triggers

[calexander]

Hello, I don't know if it has always behaved this way, but pressing and holding down the Enter key on the keyboard acts like spamming multiple Enter key presses. This can cause problems where a series of confirmation popups can be confirmed all with one keystroke if unintentionally held too long. Is there a way you could provide a way to disable this sort of functionality for an app? And of course there could still the case where you would want to hold down the Enter key while the cursor is in a text area in order to produce many new lines, but that's a bit different.

Thanks.

Can you let us know which confirmation popups you are referring to? For example, are you talking about the popup shown after setting the app variable nabMsg?

No, not those ones. Either something like this with the Prompt User With Confirmation Text filled out:
image.png?Or popup form/grid/info widgets with primary buttons. Or some combination of both. And on the last dismissal when there are no more popups, if Enter key were held down it can end up pressing on the buttons on the main page there or mess with the sorting of the grid.

However, I did just realize that old AS400 green screens actually work the same way (holding down Enter will apply it multiple times), so maybe this request of mine really isn't technically necessary and I should instead have a confirm function Key like F2 like many green screen apps do. Though, that may not fit best for a modern web app.
