Exiting graph display from within a macro #108

Closed taviso closed 1 year ago

I noticed that you can't exit from a graph in a macro, I don't know if this is a bug - test on DOS.

Nope, seems to be the same on DOS - so I guess it's intentional.

Never had use for this before. Just tried it in DOS.

Assigned ALT-Z \Z /GVQ

When graph View is engaged, it acts similar to the macro command {?}, which allows input until keyboard [Enter] key triggers rest of macro, in this case "Q" for quit. Unlike F10, which just toggles the most current graph file.

This behavior seems reasonable to me, since hardware intensive activity needs time to break video modes in DOS to render graphics, before returning screen to normal window for macro editing.

Agreed, thanks for confirming!
