Keyboard modifiers OSX vs Win
I was wondering why things were different on the two platforms. By looking at the VM source code, I found that: * 3) The modifier keys are mapped as follows: * * Mac | Win32 * -------------------- * Shift -> Shift * Ctrl -> Ctrl * Command -> Left ALT * Option -> Right ALT Things are now clearer!

Guessing that the first is because the left alt is in windows is where the cmd key would be on a mac. For the second, probably because pressing the equivalent key position to mac's option, the windows key, brings up the start menu... ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Keyboard-modifiers-OSX-vs-Win-tp4724546p4724572.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
