[platform-swt-dev] Re: [Bug 19568] {} on a german keyboard [swt-carbon]
|
I'm still confused here. The Mac "Command" key is what we should be
marking as equivalent to the "ALT". Is this key also what is used to
enter the special key codes? I thought it was the "option" key in
this case.
On MacOS the
- Command modifier is used for entering shortcuts like the Control
modifier under Windows
(and it is labelled with the Apple logo or cloverleaf)
- Option modifier is used to enter special characters (and it is
labelled 'Alt')
- Control modifier is used to simulate the secondary mouse button and
for entering
not so frequently used shortcuts
Since Eclipse on MacOS X should be a Mac-like application I use the
following mappings:
- Mac Command modifier: for SWT.Control
- Option modifier: for entering special characters, not reported to SWT
- Control modifier: for SWT.ALT
The Command -> Control mapping is already in place and I'm working on
the Control -> ALT mapping.
Any other opinions?
