History

2010 March, A-Shell 5.1.1176

ExitChars now work in all kinds of editable cells. Previously, they worked only in checkboxes and radio buttons.

2008 December, 1133

ExitChars now supports control characters, using the control character as a lead-in. For example, "ExitChars=ABCD^S^Z" would exit on A,B,C,D plus Ctrl+S and Ctrl+Z.
