The issue is with not aligning on the split between the modifier(s) and keys, e.g.: Here the modifiers for the C-binding is not aligned correctly with those of the P-bindings. A fix could be to enforce a minimum width for the character, but not sure if there are string/paragraph attributes which allow this. Another solution I am considering is using an image in the attributed string — this should provide most of the advantages of not replacing the menu item (with a custom view) yet give complete control over rendering of the “activation string”. >> ability to set key equiv by glyph or key code > actually our need is to have the ability to have an arbitrary *string* appear > as the "shortcut". we don't care about the actual key equivalent, since we > already handle this internally (not using OS) This API would also fail to align modifiers across strings. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
