set the allowKeyInField to {true | false}
# Description
In SuperCard, the allowKeyInField property determines whether a "keyInField" message is sent when a key is pressed while the insertion point is in a field.
In LiveCode, the "keyInField" message is not sent.
The allowKeyInField property is always true. A handler can set it to any value without causing a error, but the actual value is not changed.
