Close text editor via keyboard?

[madcowscarnival]

I'm hopeful this can be done.  Do not know how to search for it.

 

Is there a way to close the text editor without using the mouse?  Some combination of a key+enter etc?

Have you tried the enter key? that works for x16

Go into Preferences and under Text uncheck "Create New Line."

 

You then use Shift+Return to create a new line.

Chris, thank you.  Wish it could be swapped to enter for new line, shift+enter to close, but I seldom type multiple lines.

 

Michael, "enter" in my text editor currently just takes me to the next line, and with it being a text editor, "tab" just tabs rather than highlighting radio boxes (i.e. tab -> enter to highlight and execute the "OK" radio button).

I have my setting unchecked as Chris mentioned, I forgot to mention that part. it has been set like that for so long

Control+Tab followed by Enter is a good alternative.

This prompted me to experiment on the Mac, and I discovered I can leave my preferred setting of "Create New Line" for Return or Enter, and use Option+Enter to close the text dialog. Option+Return does nothing.

 

This is helpful. I like "Create New Line" for Enter normally, but don't like mousing to the OK button. I couldn't find anything in Help that mentioned this, so just putting it out here...

Alaskan son, that is a great trick.  I've been trying Chrisb's solution, but it's such a change from how I've typed for years, I had to switch back (old dogs, new tricks and all). Ctrl + tab, enter is just what I was hoping for.  Couldn't get the "OK" radio button to highlight with key combos, never thought to change option screen first.
