About a year ago I wrote some test code to see what would be needed to implement this. I only found one way that it can be done, and it would increase the complexity of the program quite a bit and take a lot of work, so I don't think think this will be in Mojo any time soon.

Hi Freddie, sorry for the delay.
Personally, I'm not sure about having to double-click the LButton. But I assume it's not possible to distinguish between clicks on the drop arrow and on the body of the input box?

That's not the problem. The problem is that left clicks already have an essential meaning when they occur in the body of the input box. They mean, "move the cursor to this location."Originally Posted by Flekkie

Oh yeah, I didn't think of that.

I tried giving single left clicks two different meanings. If they occurred in a field that already contained the cursor, they meant "type the LButton character." But if they occurred in a field without the cursor, they meant "move the cursor here."
The result was bewildering. Even though I knew what was happening, it seemed as if the program was broken.
I think the idea of moving the cursor by left clicking is so natural and familiar, that it's just not possible to mess with it without confusing people.
