Compatibility

This section documents keyboard-related compatibility issues for older applications.

Default Buttons

Default buttons in slips appear and function only in applications that were designed with them in mind. This is described in "Designating the Default Button In a Slip".

Possible Key-view Compatibility Problem

Prior to Newton 2.1 OS, you could not set the key-view to anything other than a clParagraphView (using Setkeyview) or a clEditView (using SetCaretInfo). In Newton 2.1 OS, you can designate any view as a key-view. This could be a problem for some older applications.
