In this case, it's really more a lack of demonstrated interest as evidenced by Radar. I did a little Radar searching and found one Radar requesting support for numeric keypad command keys. That was from 2002. That bug is still in Analyze and there's no reason we couldn't do it in a future release if there's more interest in this feature expressed by developers. But the fact that it hasn't been done, in this case, has nothing to do with a desire to deprecate the feature. Of course, ideally we would have provided every feature in Cocoa that was in active use by Carbon developers already. No debate there. But bugs and features get priority based on demand. -eric _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
