and since we are there: What happens with linux?
Esteban
Linux is the same as Windows.

This confuses the issue. :) From Pharo's perspective, the windows-key does not exist. I really believe the windows-key should *not* be considered a meta-key, and some call it the super-key. On Fri, May 29, 2015 at 2:23 AM, Nicolai Hess <nicolaihess@web.de> wrote:
Currently, on Windows, the keymapping framework knows only two modifiers "ctrl" and "command" the windows key "alt" maps to "command"

Iâm lost now. Which one is the âmetaâ key in windows? Alt or Ctrl?
Esteban
Note that he said *currently* , not that it was correct. Indeed it is wrong per platform conventions. Observe all the PharoShortcuts saying for example... ^ $b command mac | $b ctrl win | $b ctrl unix That is... Linux/Windows meta-key = Ctrl. OSX meta-key = Cmd Alt should remain Alt and be equivalent to Option on osx, but it seems on Windows that somewhere low level the Alt key *becomes* a Cmd key. This needs to be killed.
Hi,
I need win/linux users (and why not, other mac users than me) to test this issue:
https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/15621
basically, it normalises all menu shortcut output⦠in a long but clear way (and compatible with the platform).
cheers, Esteban
Thanks for doing this. It might be a bit bumpy road but really needs to be done. Now my opinion is based on previously being a long term Windows Pharo user, but right now I need to find a Windows machine to assist. cheers -ben
