You shouldn't have to activate it with a key click like Space or Insert before typing the input. To mimic a muose click on a button or checkbox then a keystroke is needed. On windos and linux this is Space I believe. I think it was me that originally asked for this feature after it had been done in Ataricq. It works really well in quite a lot of apps although some obviously use non-standard dialogues but XaAES doesn't seem to cause any problems in these cases. Peter
