Re: Post-Text Trigger

First at all excuse my poor english.

But if you navigate out the item with the mouse, the key-next-item trigger does not fire, so it is not the correct. A solution to call restricted built-in is the next: in post-text-item you must create a timer (called, for example, 'TIMER_POST_ITEM') with 1 ms and NO_REPEAT, and in the when-timer-expired trigger, you get the timer that expired (get_application_property) and if this is TIMER_POST_ITEM, you do commit.
It works

Bye
