ignore keyboard mappings when entering text!

Post by Max Oepen » Fri Apr 13, 2018 9:20 pm

When editing numbers or text anywhere in Live, any keyboard mappings are still active. When any of the mapped keys are hit, the mapped function is still carried out.
This both disrupts the entry, and executes an involuntary action.
Keyboard mappings should be disabled/ ignored/ bypassed while entering values or texts into any fields. Is there a reason why this feature could not be programmed? Can Live be aware when a value or text field is clicked for editing? I would imagine so, right?
