i am using jit.cellblock for the first time (only to see/edit a 

Excel-like grid, in an otherwise no-jitter patch)

when the patch is in non-edit mode and the jit.cellblock is in the 

patch, the [key] object does not report key strokes..

no-key-with-jit-cellblock

i just had the same situation. probably, jit.cellblock is still 

selected (like with numbox), so you have to click once more outside 

cellblock to deselect it. then, key is working again. I ended up 

using hi for keyboard controls for jit.cellblock to avoid this.

ice.key will report keystrokes even when Max thinks some object has "focus".

You can write me off-list for more information...

This came up about a year ago as well. My method then, as now, is to set .cellblock to "ignore click" and use external messages to select the cells I want (such as [key]->[counter]->[select $1])

yes I was willing to select a cell and fill it with a keystroke

so it is impossible - will try the diverses solutions you send me.

No [key] with jit.cellblock??
