Thank you for pursuing this. I did sort-of get it working as I outlined in earlier post (choose between text box and scale tool), but decided it was too clumsy to be really useful. so I’ve stayed with simple text box input in my model at least for the moment.
I can’t get at my computer until later this evening or tomorrow (making this response from my phone), but will look at your model then and see how it behaves. Will also add shortcut as you suggest.
Tx again
PS. My shortcut setting problem is solved. I was pressing Enter key after typing the shortcut letter - have to click somewhere else instead of pressing Enter key which can’t be used as a shortcut. See
