When creating/editing PARATEXT it's quick when after editing the text you can hit the TAB key (which highlights the OK button) then hit Enter to exit the dialog, all without touching the mouse.

MTEXT does not work the same way. A very minor issue...

The current Tab Order puts the highlight on the text size and there is no way to get to the OK button using the TAB key.

Can we have MTEXT dialog work the same way (for consistency) to have the Tab Order include and go to the OK button like it works in PARATEXT?

You can also use Ctrl+Enter to close the dialog box, which works on both P & M text dialogs.

Thanks Josh!
I had to figure out why I didn't know that...

And there it is in the Rev Hist for DataCAD 12:
3. In the PText or MText dialog, [Ctrl] + [Enter] = [OK] and [Esc] = [Cancel].

Maybe the minor Tab Order change would still help?

That jump we did from 10 to 16 years ago... our production drawings didn't use PText or MText much if at all at the time.

I have some night reading to study on.
